Marriage is so unlike everything else. There is something even awful in the nearness it brings. Dorothea is bright, beautiful and rebellious. Lydgate is the ambitious new doctor in town. Both of them long to make a positive difference in the world. But as so often in life, their stories do not proceed as expected and both they, and the other inhabitants of Middlemarch, must struggle to reconcile themselves to their fates and find their places in a fast-changing world. Middlemarch contains all of life: the rich and the poor, the conventional and the radical, literature and science, politics and romance, but above all it gives us a vision of what lies within the human heart, the roar on the other side of silence. George Eliot’s masterpiece, Middlemarch is a microcosm of human interrelationships seen through the eyes of a single community. Often topping polls of reader’s favourite novels, Middlemarch is a vital and vibrant meditation on love, self-sacrifice, ambition and what it really means to make a difference in the world. ‘On the brink of adulthood—not knowing where I would study, where I might live, what men I would love, whether I would have children—I felt that everything I might need to know about marriage, about love, about life itself, was encompassed in the novel’s eight hundred and fifty pages.’ – Rebecca Mead, The New Yorker Books George Eliot|Paperback|Vintage Publishing|02/08/2007, Vintage Publishing<

In her youth she was heavily influenced by her evangelical teachers but she later broke with orthodox religion.After she moved to Coventry with her father in 1841, she undertook the task of translating D.F. Strauss's controversial book Life of Jesus Critically Examined (1846) for Charles Bray. After her father's death she moved to London and helped to edit the radical journal the Westminster Review from 1851 to 1854. In 1851 she also met the journalist George Henry Lewes and, despite Lewes's marriage, they became partners for the rest of his life. In 1854 Lewes and Eliot openly set up home together, a scandalous arrangement by the social standards of the day.In 1857 Eliot published Scenes from Clerical Life in Blackwood's Magazine and in 1859 her novel Adam Bede was published to great acclaim and established her as a bestselling author.Her first..., DE, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, 928, [GW: 618g], Banküberweisung, PayPal, [CT: Sonstiges / Sonstiges]<
