Beskrivning
One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World''One of the few English novels written for grown-up people' Virginia WoolfGeorge Eliot's nuanced and moving novel is a masterly evocation of connected lives, changing fortunes and human frailties in a provincial community. Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfilment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; Dr Lydgate, whose pioneering medical methods, combined with an imprudent marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamond, threaten to undermine his career; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past.Edited with an Introduction and notes by ROSEMARY ASHTON

Her novels are among the greatest of the nineteenth century

  1. 5/5 Ann

    Relationer är lika komplicerad då som nu. Boken är en nyttig övning i engelska språket, även om det är mitt modersmål, och en blick i en annan värld. En givande bok på flera nivåer.

  2. 5/5 Madeleine B

    Trodde den var skriven på engelska ej i översättning lite besviken av de för egen del. Berättelsen speglar den tiden i England; en fin klassiker. Gav bort.

  3. 5/5 Susan

    Describes by Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people", this is a marvellous, moving, funny, huge novel. Hugely enjoyable

  4. 5/5 Åsa

    Fantastiska personteckningar och miljöer i denna fängslande klassiker. Rätt komplicerad engelska dock. Borde verkligen komma ut på svenska igen, så att fler kan läsa den!
