双城记

A Tale of Two Cities is a classic novel, but because it clearly states that the background of the revolution is the French Revolution, the expression of the revolution is regarded as the author's view of history. And this is the focus of countless controversies about the novel. In his novels, Dickens not only showed the cruelty of the aristocracy with exquisite ink, but also showed the irrational destruction of the revolutionary masses. Revolution, he argued, was the replacement of one form of oppression by another, and the replacement of one blood with another by a direct and dense uprising. The story of the Storming of the Bastille and of the mob -- blood, cruelty, treachery, malice -- is the most striking part of the novel.
