Beschreibung
Part of Penguin’s beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, this collectible edition is bound in high-quality, colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille, the ageing Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There, two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become connected through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror, where they soon fall under the lethal shadow of the guillotine.
