Romanzo di enorme e duraturo successo, Una storia tra due città uscì dapprima a puntate, quindi in volume, nel 1859. Si tratta di un romanzo storico ambientato tra Parigi e Londra nei burrascosi anni che precedettero e seguirono la Rivoluzione francese. Tra le molteplici vicende umane che si intrecciano in queste pagine spiccano quelle di Lucie Manette, donna insieme dolce e coraggiosa, figlia di un uomo ingiustamente detenuto nella Bastiglia e da lei inizialmente creduto morto; di Charles Darnay, aristocratico francese espatriato in Inghilterra, indiscriminatamente accusato durante il Terrore; e infine dell'avvocato Sydney Carton, dall'ambiguo passato, cui viene offerto un inconsueto destino. Racconto avvincente e ricco di colpi di scena, Una storia tra due città vive anche di un raffinato impianto allegorico nel quale i luoghi e i personaggi rappresentano diverse istanze politiche e sociali, in una indimenticabile raffigurazione delle forze che muovono la Storia dell'uomo.
