«Historia de dos ciudades» is the historical novel by Charles Dickens, published by El País in paperback (469 pages, in Spanish).
Set between London and Paris during the French Revolution, it follows Charles Darnay, an aristocrat who renounces his title, the cynical lawyer Sydney Carton, and Lucie Manette, united by a secret that drags them to both sides of the Channel. The story interweaves injustices of the Ancien Régime, popular violence, and the weight of personal redemption, with scenes culminating in a decisive act of sacrifice.
This edition belongs to the Aventuras collection from El País. Translation by Salvador Bordoy Luque. Work originally published in 1859 under the title «A Tale of Two Cities».
For readers of English literature classics who enjoy historical novels about the French Revolution.
