About this listen

Revolution and love in the shadow of the guillotine.

"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" - this is how Charles Dickens begins his extraordinary tale. These words foreshadow the dramatic events presented with epic scope.

Paris and London on the eve of the French Revolution. This turbulent period is shown through the prism of the fates of a young French aristocrat, an unjustly imprisoned doctor, his daughter, and an English lawyer. After eighteen years spent in the Bastille, Dr. Manette is released. Fortunately, now on English soil, he begins a second life alongside his daughter Lucie. There, the paths of two men intersect: Charles Darnay, who fled from France, and Sydney Carton, a brilliant lawyer, a loner and a drunkard, who will be united by their love for one woman - the doctor's daughter. Due to a dramatic turn of events, the heroes are forced to leave the quiet streets of London and come to Paris under the rule of bloody terror. Caught up in the whirlwind of events, they will be put to a severe test...
