Silas Marner
av George Eliot
Silas Marner flyr sin strängt religiösa omgivning efter att ha anklagats för ett brott han inte begått. Han börjar ett nytt liv, som vävare i utkanten av en liten stad. Med tiden tjänar han ihop en förmögenhet, men ödet har gjort honom känslokall och bitter. Och än en gång ska Silas Marner förlora allt han äger. Det är först när han tvingas adoptera en föräldralös flicka, som han finner anledning att åter söka sin tro.
George Eliots Silas Marner [1861] är både en realistisk roman och en moralisk saga, med den engelska landsbygden som spelplats. En av den engelska litteraturens stora klassiker, här i översättning av Ingegerd von Tell. I bokform på svenska för första gången på 38 år. Med nyskrivet förord av Heidi Hansson.

GEORGE ELIOT, egentligen MARY ANN EVANS [1819-1880], var en engelsk romanförfattare. Flera av hennes verk räknas till den brittiska litteraturens viktigaste i en realistisk romantradition. Ofta utspelar de sig på den engelska landsbygden och utmärks av en djupt inkännande psykologisk detaljskildring som var långt före sin tid.

Middlemarch
av George Eliot
George Eliots mest ambitiösa roman Middlemarch är en komplex berättelse om idealism, lojalitet och uppslitande kärlek. I en engelsk småstad under 1800-talets första hälft får vi följa den unga idealisten Dorothea Brooke som är olyckligt gift, och den charmige men taktlöse Dr Tertius Lydgate som även han har problem på det äktenskapliga planet.

Det är ett färgstarkt och rörande drama som hyllades av Virginia Woolf som lär ha sagt att det var "en av få engelska romaner skriven för vuxna människor".

I originalöversättning av A. G. Engberg

George Eliot, pseudonym för Mary Anne Evans, var under sin livstid en av Storbritanniens främsta författare. Hon valde sin pseudonym efter sin förebild Georges Sand.

Daniel Deronda
av George Eliot
Searching for his life's purpose, young Daniel Deronda is immediately attracted to the beautiful but shallow Gwendolen Harleth during a chance meeting at a casino. As they pursue separate journeys of self-discovery, culminating in Daniel's discovery of his Jewish heritage, Daniel and Gwendolen reveal much about the depth of their characters and the circumstances that have influenced their lives.Daniel Deronda was George Eliot's final, and arguably most controversial, novel. Many readers questioned the author's focus on Jewish characters and culture, and her criticism of their social position in England at that time. This criticism continued well into the twentieth century, when influential British literary critic F. R. Leavis re-released Daniel Deronda, excluding the sections focusing on the Jewish characters, and re-named it Gwendolen Harleth.HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

Förfärande kvinnor
av George Eliot, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Hesba Stretton
I början av 1800-talet blev romanläsandet en populär sysselsättning. Nya tryckmetoder och bättre kommunikationer spred den nya underhållningsformen. Tekniska och vetenskapliga framsteg som järnvägar och elektricitet, tillsammans med spiritism och andra flugor, förändrade världen. Horace Walpole hade skrivit sin skräckroman Borgen i Otranto några årtionden tidigare, och 1818 kom Mary Shelleys Frankenstein.

Sådana böcker blev början till en våg av gotisk skräck i framför allt Storbritannien - mer eller mindre övernaturliga berättelser i miljöer med vittrande slott, åskväder, sönderslitna moln och månsken över upprörda hav, alltsammans befolkat av hålögda adelsmän och bleka jungfrur.

Många av de som skrev gotisk skräck var kvinnor, och några av dem finns i den här samlingen. Inte bara deras noveller och romaner var förfärande och utmanande, utan kanske ännu mer deras sätt att leva: ogifta; boende ensamma; boende med gifta män; till och med boende med andra kvinnor!
Novellerna i boken är skrivna mellan 1840- och 90-talen, av författare som systrarna Brontë, George Eliot och Charlotte Perkins Gilman, och förtjänar mycket väl att läsas än i dag.

Middlemarch
av George Eliot
The classic novel. According to Wikipedia: "Mary Ann (Marian) Evans (1819 - 1880), better known by her pen name, George Eliot, was an English novelist. She was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Her novels, largely set in provincial England, are well known for their realism and psychological perspicacity. She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure that her works were taken seriously. Female authors published freely under their own names, but Eliot wanted to ensure that she was not seen as merely a writer of romances. An additional factor may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes."

Adam Bede
av George Eliot, Carol A Martin
'Our deeds carry their terrible consequences...consequences that are hardly ever confined to ourselves.'Pretty Hetty Sorrel is loved by the village carpenter Adam Bede, but her head is turned by the attentions of the fickle young squire, Arthur Donnithorne. His dalliance with the dairymaid has unforeseen consequences that affect the lives of many in their small rural community. First published in 1859, Adam Bede carried its readers back sixty years to the lush countryside of Eliot's native Warwickshire, and a time of impending change for England and the wider world. Eliot's powerfulportrayal of the interaction of ordinary people brought a new social realism to the novel, in which humour and tragedy co-exist, and fellow-feeling is the mainstay of human relationships. Faith, in the figure of Methodist preacher Dinah Morris, offers redemption to all who are willing to embrace it. This new edition is based on the definitive Clarendon edition and Eliot's corrected text of 1861.

George Eliot (Authors in Context)
av Tim Dolin
In a landmark essay, Virginia Woolf rescued George Eliot from almost four decades of indifference and scorn when she wrote of the 'searching power and reflective richness' of Eliot's fiction. Novels such as Middlemarch and The Mill on the Floss reflect Eliot's complex and sometimes contradictory ideas about society, the artist, the role of women, and the interplay of science and religion. In this book Tim Dolin examines Eliot's life and workand the social and intellectual contexts in which they developed. He also explores the variety of ways in which 'George Eliot' has been recontextualized for modern readers, tourists, cinema-goers, and television viewers. The book includes a chronology of Eliot's life and times, suggestions for further reading, websites, illustrations, and a comprehensive index.

Silas Marner
av George Eliot

But when his money is stolen and an orphaned child finds her way into his house, Silas is given the chance to transform his life. His fate, and that of the little girl he adopts, is entwined with Godfrey Cass, son of the village Squire, who, like Silas, is trapped by his past. Silas Marner, George Eliot's favourite of her novels, combines humour, rich symbolism and pointed social criticism to create an unsentimental but affectionate portrait of rural life.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The Mill on the Floss
av George Eliot
With an essay by Walter Allen.

If life had no love in it, what else was there for Maggie?

Tragic and moving, The Mill on the Floss is a novel of grand passions and tormented lives. As the rebellious Maggie''s fiery spirit and imaginative nature bring her into bitter conflict with her narrow provincial family, most painfully with her beloved brother Tom, their fates are played out on an epic scale. George Eliot drew on her own frustrated rural upbringing to create one of the great novels of childhood, and one of literature''s most unforgettable heroines.

Silas Marner (eBook)
av George Eliot
Der junge Leinenweber Silas Marner verliert durch eine Intrige seines besten Freundes nicht nur seine Verlobte, sondern auch seinen Platz in der Gemeinde. Er sieht sich gezwungen, seine nordenglische Heimat zu verlassen, und zieht in das kleine Bauerndorf Raveloe. Dort erwartet ihn, der auch hier zum Auenseiter wird, ein bescheidenes, von Arbeit gepragtes Dasein. Als ihm sein gesammelter Goldschatz und damit sein letzter Lebensinhalt genommen wird, scheint er endgultig ein gebrochener Mann. Doch auf wundersame Weise kommt ein Findelkind in sein Haus - und offnet ihm die Augen fur die Schonheit der Welt. Als sich der Vater des Madchens zu erkennen gibt, droht dieses Gluck aber erneut in Gefahr zu geraten ... Mit erzahlerischer Raffinesse und psychologischem Feingefuhl verknupft George Eliot die schicksalstrachtige Existenz ihrer Hauptfigur zu einer bewegenden Geschichte um die Licht- und Schattenseiten des Menschseins.

George Eliot: Middlemarch ? VollstÃ¿ndige deutsche Ausgabe
av George Eliot, Mary Anne Evans
George Eliot: Middlemarch | VollstÃ¿ndige deutsche eBook-Neuausgabe (2022) mit Ã¼ber 180 verlinkten FuÃ¿noten und Anmerkungen. | George Eliots psychologischer GroÃ¿roman ist ein Panoptikum der englischen Gesellschaft wÃ¿hrend des Ã¿bergangs vom landwirtschaftlichen zum industriellen Zeitalter (die Handlung spielt zwischen 1829 und 1832). Alte Ordnungen zerbrÃ¶ckeln, neue haben sich noch nicht etabliert. Spiegelgleich werden auf individueller Ebene die Protagonisten durcheinandergewirbelt wie Dominosteine. Die Spielorte des Romans sind die fiktive Stadt Middlemarch, die sie umgebenden reichen, herrschaftlichen LandgÃ¼ter und die schÃ¿bigen HÃ¼ttendÃ¶rfer der armen LandbevÃ¶lkerung. Doch das Setting der Handlung ist der Autorin bemerkenswert egal, sie klebt nicht an der Epoche, denn es geht um zeitlose psychologische Mechanismen. Ein Tenor des Werks ist das Scheitern der Protagonisten, das, wie man meinen kÃ¶nnte, eine negative Grundstimmung erzeugen wÃ¼rde. Das tut es deshalb nicht, weil jedes Scheitern als Aufbruch gezeichnet wird, als Anfang mit neuen Chancen. Um es mit einem Wort von heute auszudrÃ¼cken: es ist ein Roman der Resilienz, wie kaum ein anderer. Damit eine Kraftquelle fÃ¼r den Leser. Im Jahr 2015 wÃ¿hlten 82 internationale Literaturkritiker und -wissenschaftler das Werk zum bedeutendsten britischen Roman aller Zeiten. | Â© Redaktion eClassica, 2022

Adam Bede
av George Eliot, Eva-Maria Konig, Eva-Maria Konig
Keine MÃ©nage-Ã¿-trois steht im Mittelpunkt von George Eliots erstem Roman, sondern es sind gleich vier Personen, die in einen tragischen Liebesreigen verstrickt sind: Der bodenstÃ¿ndige Zimmermann Adam Bede ist in die schÃ¶ne, aber eigensÃ¼chtige Hetty Sorrel verliebt. Doch Hetty strebt nach HÃ¶herem als dem eintÃ¶nigen Leben auf dem Land, und so verfÃ¿llt sie dem jungen gutaussehenden Arthur Donnithorne, der eines Tages das Anwesen seines GroÃ¿vaters erben soll. Und dann ist da noch Dinah Morris, Hettys Cousine, eine glÃ¼hende, tugendhafte und schÃ¶ne methodistische Laienpredigerin. Vor dem Hintergrund rauer Landschaften und dem beschaulichen Landleben entspinnt Eliot eine sehr persÃ¶nliche Geschichte, Ã¼ber die sie spÃ¿ter sagt: Â»Ich liebe es sehr und bin zutiefst dankbar dafÃ¼r, es geschrieben zu haben, was die Ã¿ffentlichkeit auch immer darÃ¼ber sagen mag.Â« ?
