![]() ![]() A Far Better Rest imagines his missing personal history and makes him the center of this tragic tale. Yet Dickens is silent about the circumstances that transformed Carton from a promising youth to an embittered alcoholic and finally to the man who makes the ultimate sacrifice for love. Carton disappears from the novel for eleven chapters and several years, reappearing without warning to bring the novel to its chilling and heartbreaking end. Dickens' novel tells us the stories of Charles Darnay, Lucie Manette, and Alexandre Manette. In Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, Sydney Carton is an almost ancillary character. The French Revolution is vividly brought to life in a brilliant retelling of the classic story that has captured the imagination of readers since the 1850s. ![]()
