Una historia de dos ciudades

Name: Una historia de dos ciudades
Author: Charles Dickens

La novela alterna escenas en dos capitales durante la época que conduce a una gran convulsión social, y sigue varias vidas entrelazadas: una familia reconstruida tras largo cautiverio, un emigrado que huye de su pasado y un abogado con destino autodestructivo. A través de juicios, prisiones y tumultos populares se exploran la injusticia, la violencia revolucionaria, la posibilidad de resurrección personal y el sacrificio redentor. Contrastes entre orden y caos, memoria y olvido, y la íntima repercusión histórica en personas comunes articulan un relato sobre la fragilidad de la civilización y el precio humano del cambio político.
