Beschreibung

In "The Mill on the Floss," George Eliot intricately weaves a tale of familial bonds, personal struggle, and the quest for self-identity against the backdrop of rural 19th-century England. With its rich psychological depth and a narrative style characterized by a blend of realism and philosophical musings, the novel explores the tumultuous relationship between siblings Maggie and Tom Tulliver. Eliot's keen observation of societal norms and her profound understanding of human emotion create a vivid tapestry that reflects the constraints placed on women and the complexities of love and ambition. The narrative unfolds with lyrical prose, offering a compelling critique of the era's social mores while engaging readers in the characters' emotional landscapes. George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, was a pioneering British novelist and a significant figure in the realism movement. Her own life experiences, marked by intellectual independence and social challenges, inform the themes in her works. Eliot's commitment to exploring the inner lives of her characters and her profound empathy for human suffering underscore the driving impetus behind "The Mill on the Floss," as she sought to reveal the often harsh realities faced by women of her time. This novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate intricate character studies and social commentary. Eliot's masterful storytelling invites a deep emotional engagement and offers timeless insights into the human experience, making "The Mill on the Floss" a profound exploration of love, loss, and the struggle for self-understanding.

    A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
    BOOK 2: Though we have properly enough entitled this our work, a history, and not a life; nor an apology for a life, as is more in fashion; yet we intend in it rather to pursue the method of those writers, who profess to disclose the revolutions of countries, than to imitate the painful and voluminous historian, who, to preserve the regularity of his series, thinks himself obliged to fill up as much paper with the detail of months and years in which nothing remarkable happened, as he employs upon those notable aeras when the greatest scenes have been transacted on the human stage.
