Synopsis

London and Paris, on either side of the French Revolution, threaded together by a doctor freed from the Bastille, the daughter who recalls him to life, and two men who happen to look identical. Famous opening, more famous ending, all of it underwritten by one of the great acts of self-sacrifice in fiction.
