Hola, me llamo Finn y voy a ayudarte a entender este libro.
Aquí está, explicado como si tuvieras 10 años:
Es la Revolución Francesa: Paris tiene hambre y furia, London está seguro y satisfecho, y unas pocas vidas se enredan entre las dos ciudades. Hay un hombre rescatado de una muerte en vida en la cárcel, una mujer que teje los nombres de las personas que quiere ver muertas y, al final, uno de los actos de sacrificio más famosos de toda la literatura.

When I was acting‚ with my children and friends‚ in Mr. Wilkie Collins’s drama of The Frozen Deep‚ I first conceived the main idea of this story. A strong desire was upon me then to embody it in my own person; and I traced out in my fancy the state of mind which it would necessitate the presentation to an observant spectator‚ with particular care and interest.
As the idea became familiar to me‚ it gradually shaped itself into its present form. Throughout its execution‚ it has had complete possession of me; I have so far verified what is done and suffered in these pages‚ as that I have certainly done and suffered it all myself.
Whenever any reference (however slight) is made here to the condition of the French people before or during the Revolution‚ it is truly made‚ on the faith of trustworthy witnesses. It has been one of my hopes to add something to the popular and picturesque means of understanding that terrible time‚ though no one can hope to add anything to the philosophy of Mr. Carlyle’s wonderful book.
