George Eliot's realist masterpiece, with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jennifer Egan

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 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 the world.

Middlemarch er hovedværket i George Eliots forfatterskab. Den psykologiske indsigt i romanens karakterer og deres motiver gør romanen lige så medrivende i dag, som dengang den blev skrevet.Middlemarch er en typisk engelsk provinsby. Den danner den trygge, men snævre ramme om begivenhederne i romanen, der foregår i årene 1829-32, umiddelbart før de store reformlove, der ændrer valgsystemet og indvarsler en moderne tidsalder i England.I centrum for det store persongalleri står nogle unge mennesker og deres familie. Den begavede Dorothea Brooke gifter sig med den noget ældre præst og amatørvidenskabsmand Edward Casaubon, fordi hun ønsker at hjælpe ham med hans forskning. Den ambitiøse læge Tertius Lydgate drømmer om at revolutionere lægegerningen. Han forelsker sig i den underskønne Rosamond Vincy, mens Rosamonds døgenigt af en bror, Fred, sværmer for sin barndomskæreste, den jordbundne og snusfornuftige Mary Garth.Omkring dem myldrer det med andre personer med hver deres dagsorden. Gode og onde, selviske og idealistiske afsløres med samme skarpsind og beskrives med humor og forståelse.Middlemarch udkom oprindelig som føljeton i 1871-72. Den præsenteres her for et dansk publikum i Rosinantes klassikerserie i Claus Bechs nye oversættelse med forord af Bo Green Jensen.Pressen skriver:»Både i brist og storhed er George Eliots personer bygget op af psykologisk og dramatisk indsigt. George Eliot holder et forstørrelsesglas op over den provinsielle lilleverden, hvor sladderens løbeild til slut tager fart og sætter alle sind i brand og fortvivlelse.«– Ebbe Mørk, Politiken

"Tiden er årene under Napoleonskrigene (1792-1815), og vi følger den beskedne og enfoldige væver Silas Marners liv i en lille landsby. Han havde en særlig position i en lille religiøs sekt i London, men forlod byen, da han blev svigtet af sin bedste ven, William Dane, der havde stjålet en pose penge og beskyldt Marner for det. Marner vier sit liv til at opfostre et hittebarn - pigen Eppie.Romanen sammen med Middlemarch er et af de centrale værker i George Eliots lysende forfatterskab."

Young Maggie Tulliver is devoted to her brother Tom, but as she grows older and discovers romantic love she comes into conflict with him and her family. She strives to reconcile moral claims and family loyalty with her own desires. Eliot's most autobiographical novel was also her most controversial, and this new edition examines its impact.

Den unge David Faux er i lære som konditor, men mener selv at være skabt til et bedre - og især mere behageligt - liv. Han beslutter at emigrere til Vestindien ved hjælp af sin moders sparepenge. Hans indskrænkede broder Jacob viser sig at være en hindring for tilegnelsen af disse midler, men det lykkes dog David at få fat i dem, få rystet broderen af og drage ud i verden.Seks år senere nedsætter konditor og delikatessehandler Edward Freely, nylig hjemvendt fra Vestindien, sig med sin forretning i den lille by Grimworth, hvor han snart sætter det landlige borgerskabs madvaner på den anden ende, og er på vej til at gifte sig med en datter af en af byens bedsteborgere. Men hans grådighed og den indskrænkede Jacob bliver hans fald.

From the author of MIDDLEMARCH and SILAS MARNER, a story of frustrated intelligence and longing, featuring the intelligent Maggie, who yearns to be loved, and her brother Tom, who is forced to study. When Maggie is cast out by Tom, she is ostracized by society, and must face the consequences of renunciation.

Middlemarch er en typisk engelsk provinsby omkring 1830. Handlingen i George Eliots kalejdoskopiske roman følger to hovedspor. I det ene gifter purunge Dorothea Brooke sig med den ældre præst og amatørvidenskabsmand Edward Casaubon for at hjælpe ham med hans forskning – et projekt og et ægteskab der viser sig at være goldt og glædesløst. I det andet følger vi Tertius Lydgate, ung og ambitiøs læge som ankommer til Middlemarch med store og ædle planer, men afspores af sit giftermål med den underskønne, men også meget jordbundne Rosamond Vincy. Omkring disse hovedspor myldrer et persongalleri af høj og lav, gode og onde, idealistiske og selviske, som beskrives og afsløres uden antydning af sentimentalitet, men med forståelse og humor. George Eliots psykologiske indsigt og sproglige mesterskab gør romanen til lige så medrivende læsning i dag som da den udkom i 1870-71. - George Eliot er et pseudonym for Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880).

L'église de Shepperton offrait, il y a environ vingt ans, un aspect bien différent de celui qu'elle présente aujourd'hui. À la vérité, sa tour massive vous surveille encore; le cadran de l'horloge conserve l'expression amicale des anciens jours; mais, pour tout le reste, que de changements ! Un ample toit d'ardoise couronne le vieux clocher; les fenêtres sont hautes et symétriques; les portes extérieures sont en beau chêne poli, et celles de l'intérieur sont capitonnées d'une serge rouge pour amortir le bruit; jamais aucun lichen ne reviendra se fixer sur les murs; ils sont aussi lisses et aussi stériles que le sommet de la tête du Rév.
