Sinopse

The Complete Novels of George Eliot presents a comprehensive collection of the author's remarkable works, showcasing her unparalleled ability to intertwine psychological insight with keen social observation. Eliot's novels range from the pastoral elegance of 'Adam Bede' to the intricate moral dilemmas presented in 'Middlemarch.' Written in a fluid prose style that resonates with Victorian depth and nuance, these narratives delve into the lives of ordinary individuals grappling with ethical choices in an evolving society, all while employing rich character development and reflective themes of love, ambition, and societal constraints. George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, was a pioneering female novelist whose personal experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society deeply informed her writing. Her intellectual upbringing and relationships, particularly with contemporary thinkers like George Henry Lewes, enriched her perspectives on gender and morality. This background compelled her to explore the intricacies of human relationships and societal expectations, contributing to her unique voice within the literary canon. This collection is an essential read for those interested in 19th-century literature, offering not only an exploration of Eliot's literary genius but also insights into the human condition. Readers will find themselves captivated by Eliot's profound explorations of themes that remain relevant today, making these novels timeless and universal.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    It's a touching tale of a young man who finds himself without shelter or food on a cold "Autumn Night" in Moscow. The strong opening lines of the narrator set the stage nicely: "Once in the autumn I happened to be in a very unpleasant and inconvenient position. In the town where I had just arrived and where I knew not a soul, I found myself without a farthing in my pocket and without a night's lodging."Scavenging for something to eat around the "steamship wharves," he encounters another poor wretch, the young woman, Natasha, in similar circumstance if for different reasons. Together they scrounge a loaf of bread and take refuge from the elements (a bitterly cold, freezing rain) under an upside down skiff. Here he learns a little of her circumstances, including how her face came to be marked up, although he could probably already guess that. Her abusive husband has thrown her out, leaving her with a somewhat low opinion of the male of the species: "What wretches all you men are! I'd burn you all in an oven; I'd cut you in pieces. If any one of you was dying I'd spit in his mouth, and not pity him a bit. Mean skunks! You wheedle and wheedle, you wag your tails like cringing dogs, and we fools give ourselves up to you, and it's all up with us! Immediately you trample us underfoot… Miserable loafers."Famous Novels of the author Maxim Gorky: Goremyka Pavel, Published in English as Orphan Paul, Foma Gordeyev, Three of Them,  Also translated as Three Men, The Mother, The Life of a Useless Man,  A Confession, Okurov City, The Life of Matvei Kozhemyakin, The Artamonov Business, Life of Klim Samgin.
