内容简介
《双城记(英文版)》以法国大革命为背景,透过贵族与平民之间的仇旧冲突,作者狄更斯传达"鲜血无法洗去仇恨,更不能替代爱"的主旨,贵族的暴虐对平民造成的伤痛不会因为鲜血而愈合,平民对贵族的仇恨也无法替代对已逝亲人的爱。小说深刻地揭露了法国大革命前深深激化了的社会矛盾,强烈地抨击贵族阶级的荒淫残暴,并深切地同情下层人民的苦难。 《双城记(英文版)》为英文原版,随书提供配套英文朗读供读者下载,让读者在品读精彩故事的同时,亦能提升英文阅读水平。 A Tale of Two Cities is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in Paris and London of the 1780s and 1790s.
