    Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, A Tale of Two Cities is a sprawling tale of London and revolutionary Paris with a complex plot portraying the results of terror and treason, love and supreme sacrifice. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”—opening line of A Tale of Two Cities It was the time of the French Revolution, a time of great change and great danger. It was a time when injustice was met by a lust for vengeance, and rarely was a distinction made between the innocent and the guilty. Against this tumultuous historical backdrop, Dickens’ dramatic story of adventure and courage unfolds. Unjustly imprisoned for 18 years in the Bastille, Dr. Alexandre Manette is reunited with his daughter, the gentle Lucie Manette, and safely transported from France to England. It would seem that they could now take up the threads of their lives in peace. As fate would have it, however, the two are summoned to the Old Bailey to testify against a young Frenchman, Charles Darnay, falsely accused of treason. Strangely enough, Darnay bears an uncanny resemblance to another man in the courtroom: Sydney Carton, a dissolute barrister. It is a coincidence that saves Darnay from certain doom more than once, as the two men’s fates become intertwined with that of the Revolution. And there is Madame Defarge, a female revolutionary who has an implacable grudge against the aristocratic Evrémonde dynasty and who knits as she watches the beheadings. The storming of the Bastille, the death carts with their doomed human cargo, the swift drop of the blade of La Guillotine—this is the French Revolution that Charles Dickens vividly captures. Brilliantly plotted, the novel is rich in drama, romance, and heroics that culminate in a daring prison escape in the shadow of the guillotine. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Prebble.

    “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....” Lucie Manette, long believing herself to be an orphan, meets with London banker Jarvis Lorry in the Royal George Hotel in Dover and finds out her father, Dr. Alexandre Manette, is alive and has been held for the last 18 years as a political prisoner in the Bastille. The three are reunited in an attic garret in Paris, close to the wine shop run by Ernest Defarge, the doctor’s former servant, and his wife, Thérèse. The doctor is found to be making shoes, a skill he learned in prison as a distraction that, for him, has become an obsession. The doctor is brought to England, where for five years, Lucie devotedly restores him to his former self. A trial at the Old Bailey, in which Lucie and her father are witnesses for the Crown, introduces into their lives two men - so like each other in feature, so unlike each other in manner - Charles Darnay, a self-exiled French aristocrat, and Sidney Carton, a gifted but profligate lawyer.  “I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul.” Both men fall in love with Lucie. Carton confesses his love to Lucie, but also his unworthiness of her and confides this secret to her as the last good of which he believes himself capable. Darnay proposes, and Lucie accepts. In London, life continues happily, while in France, the turbulent waters of a discontented sea boil and bubble as the Revolution approaches. The Defarges are key players in the forming of the new republic of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or Death". Darnay returns to France in aide of a former servant, unaware of the danger that awaits him there.... Vengeance stalks the bloodstained streets of Paris, and one shadow looms large: the lethal shadow of la guillotine. A Tale of Two Cities is one of Charles Dickens’ later novels, published and serialized in 1859. It is a compelling tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption set against the bac ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rob Goll.

    A Tale of Two Cities (Dramatised) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 220min
    From the echo of the first line ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times’ to the final ‘It is a far far better thing that I do than I have ever done’, Dickens’ classic novel of the French revolution tells a story of the redemptive powers of love in the face of cruelty, violence and neglect. Set in London and Paris, it shows the plight of the French people under the brutal oppression of the aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, and the corresponding savage brutality of the revolutionaries towards the former aristocrats in the years immediately following. Among the memorable characters are Charles Darnay, a French former aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution, and Sydney Carton, a dissipated English barrister who tries to redeem his ill-spent life out of love for Darnay’s wife, Lucie Manette. In this moving, intricate tale spanning eight tumultuous years, Dickens orchestrates the wider political picture behind the story of Lucie, Darnay and Carton with his customary brilliance. This epic production, dramatised by Mike Walker, stars Robert Lindsay as Dickens, with Alison Steadman, Jonathan Coy, Andrew Scott, Paul Ready, and Karl Johnson. ungekürzt. Language: English.
