“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of reason, it was the age of stupidity, it was the age of faith, it was the age of doubt, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything and we had nothing, We would all either go straight to heaven or the other way...
The book begins with this beautiful quote. So, we can even call it a summary of the book. Frankly, the first 200 pages of the book are a bit difficult. Charles Dickens introduces us to many characters in those 200 pages. But in the pages that follow, it connects the characters so well... The part that surprised me the most was Mrs. Who was Defargin? :) So, the rest progresses very smoothly.
As the name suggests, it is two cities: Paris and London. The events in the book are shaped around the axis of the French revolution, one of the most active moments in history. How people lived at that time is beautifully explained in this quote: "Because I have witnessed many times that ordinary people were hit more than dogs." There is so much pain that we do not experience. Unfortunately, people experience things that we cannot bear to read about...
My favorite character in the book is Mr. It was in Manette. For the sake of her beloved daughter, she suppressed the hatred within her and gave her daughter to Darnay, whom she loved... I recommend the book to everyone, reading the book feels like blending a little pain and compassion.
