Mer om författaren

George Eliot was born Mary Ann Evans in 1819. Her father was the land agent of Arbury Hall in Warwickshire, in the library of which Eliot embarked upon a brilliant self-education. She moved to London in 1850 and shone in its literary circles. It was, however, her novels of English rural life that brought her fame, starting with Adam Bede, published under her new pen-name in 1859. She went on to publish novels including The Mill on the Floss in 1860 and Middlemarch in 1871 as well as poetry and nonfiction of which Queen Victoria was one of her most devoted readers. She died in 1880.

  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!
