　　ATaleofTwoCities，中文译名《双城记》，以法国大革命为背景，是一部关于爱与救赎的作品。这部作品极具狄更斯的创作特色，作者与生俱来的戏剧气质在这部作品中得到了淋漓尽致的展现。
　　”双城记”中的”双城”指巴黎和伦敦，故事以这两座城市作为发生地点，围绕着曼马内特医生一家和以德发日夫妇为首的圣安东尼区展开故事。曼马内特医生告发了侯爵兄弟的恶行，却被陷害入狱。其女在英国邂逅达内，并产生了真挚的爱情。但达内正是侯爵的儿子。曼马内特以宽广的胸怀同意了婚事，却遭到了来自底层、憎恨贵族的德发日夫人的阻碍。直到卡顿资源顶替达内走上断头台，这对爱人才得以远走高飞。作者在小说里陈述贵族如何道德败坏、如何残害百姓，人民心中积压着对贵族的刻骨仇恨，导致了不可避免的法国大革命。

       ◆如果谁落在忧悒中，不妨试试：沙发、巧克力、狄更斯。–木心
　　◆狄更斯不想写革命史，他只要捕捉那一时代的气氛，用一个故事来说明流血只能造成更多的流血，仇仇相报无有已时，只有仁爱的心才能挽救浩劫。–梁实秋◆狄更斯不仅是一位反映了现实，而且还尽力对现实起作用的作家。–高尔基

　　Chapter 1
　　The Period
　　It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, 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 before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
　　There were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face, on the throne of England; there were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face, on the throne of France. In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled for ever.
　　It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five. Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at that favoured period, as at this. Mrs. Southcott had recently attained her five-and-twentieth blessed birthday, of whom a prophetic private in the Life Guards had heralded the sublime appearance by announcing that arrangements were made for the swallowing up of London and Westminster. Even the Cock-lane ghost had been laid only a round dozen of years, after rapping out its messages, as the spirits of this very year last past (supernaturally deficient in originality) rapped out theirs. Mere messages in the earthly order of events had lately come to the English Crown and People, from a congress of British subjects in America: which, strange to relate, have proved more important to the human race than any communications yet received through any of the chickens of the Cock-lane brood.
　　France, less favoured on the whole as to matters spiritual than her sister of the shield and trident, rolled with exceeding smoothness down hill, making paper money and spending it. Under the guidance of her Christian pastors, she entertained herself, besides, with such humane achievements as sentencing a youth to have his hands cut off, his tongue torn out with pincers, and his body burned alive, because he had not kneeled down in the rain to do honour to a dirty procession of monks which passed within his view, at a distance of some fifty or sixty yards. It is likely enough that, rooted in the woods of France and Norway, there were growing trees, when that sufferer was put to death, already marked by the Woodman, Fate, to come down and be sawn into boards, to make a certain movable framework with a sack and a knife in it, terrible in history. It is likely enough that in the rough outhouses of some tillers of the heavy lands adjacent to Paris, there were sheltered from the weather that very day, rude carts, bespattered with rustic mire, snuffed about by pigs, and roosted in by poultry, which the Farmer, Death, had already set apart to be his tumbrils of the Revolution. But that Woodman and that Farmer, though they work unceasingly, work silently, and no one heard them as they went about with muffled tread: the rather, forasmuch as to entertain any suspicion that they were awake, was to be atheistical and traitorous.
