Eliot, G: Mill on the Floss

Eliot, G: Mill on the Floss


en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iun 2014
A powerful and dramatic tragedy about the struggle between head and heart.
     
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MARINA LEWYCKA

Maggie and Tom Tulliver are both willful, passionate children, and their relationship has always been tempestuous. As they grow up together on the banks of the River Floss, Tom's self-righteous stubbornness and Maggie's emotional intensity increasingly bring them into conflict, particularly when Maggie's beauty sparks some ill-fated attachments. George Eliot's story of a brother and sister bound together by their errors and affections is told with tenderness, energy and a profound understanding of human nature.

Recenzii

• "George Eliot was the most extraordinary Englishwoman of her century." --Peter Ackroyd, The Times
• "It was my first really grown-up book, but is the book that wrings my heart and I feel I bump into elements of it all my life." --Independent
• "If I had an imaginary friend, Maggie was it. I loved her, I laughed with her, I agonized about her problems, I cried over her... and I still do... George Eliot's understanding of human nature is profound... the greatest British novelist of any age." --Bel Mooney, Daily Mail

Notă biografică

GEORGE ELIOT was born in Nuneaton on November 22, 1819. Baptized Mary Anne Evans, Eliot chose to write using a male pen name. She was sent away to school but returned when her mother died in 1836. She later moved to Coventry with her father. After her father's death she became the Assistant Editor of the Westminster Review in 1851. She also met George Henry Lewes this year and they became partners for the rest of his life. Lewes was already married, although he and his wife both considered their relationship to be an open one, but he and Eliot set up home together, much to the dismay of polite London society. In 1857 Eliot published Amos Barton in Blackwood's Magazine and in 1859 her novel Adam Bede was published to great acclaim. Her first attempt to write Middlemarch, her most famous novel, ended in failure. Abandoning it, she began a short novella entitled Miss Brooke which was eventually integrated into the final version of Middlemarch. The novel was published serially in eight parts in 1871. Lewes died in 1878 and Eliot married again in 1880. Her husband, John Walter Cross was an American who was twenty years her junior. George Eliot died on December 22, 1880 at 4 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea and is buried in Highgate Cemetery next to Lewes.
