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.

Martin Chuzzlewit sets out for America where he intends to make his fortune. Dickens's novel is parodic and unsympathetic to those who do not suffer or who do not understand the suffering of others. The book is about selfishness and Martin's failures in America cure him of his selfishness.
