A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens.
British barrister Sydney Carton lives an insubstantial
and unhappy life. He falls under the spell of Lucie
Manette, but Lucie marries Charles Darnay. When Darnay
goes to Paris to rescue an imprisoned family retainer,
he becomes entangled in the snares of the brutal
French Revolution and is himself jailed and condemned
to the guillotine. But Sydney Carton, in love with a
woman he cannot have, comes up with a daring plan to
save her husband.
