Middlemarch A Study of Provincial Life【電子書籍】[ George Eliot ]

＜p＞＜strong＞With new illustrations and a brilliant original introduction by ＜em＞New Yorker＜/em＞ writer and author of ＜em＞My Life in Middlemarch＜/em＞ Rebecca Mead, the Restless Classics edition of ＜em＞Middlemarch＜/em＞ presents George Eliot’s masterpiece of Victorian fiction in an appealing new light.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Long regarded as one of the greatest of the great English-language novels, ＜em＞Middlemarch＜/em＞ by George Eliot has endured as the archetypal Victorian novel and an eternally resonant exploration of society and the individual. Centuries removed from the world of the landed gentry in 1830s England, the characters of ＜em＞Middlemarch＜/em＞ remain as exquisitely drawn and deeply alive as any in literature: the pedantic, obsessive Reverend Casaubon, the idealistic Dr. Lydgate, and the spirited, striving Dorothea Brooke.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A novel of marriage, Eliot’s “study of Provincial Life” is also a strikingly fresh commentary on scientific and technological change, cultural and class divides, and the upheavals of a rural community experiencing global transformation. In her insightful introduction, Rebecca Mead, ＜em＞New Yorker＜/em＞ writer and author of ＜em＞My Year in Middlemarch,＜/em＞ explores Eliot’s “meliorism”ーher belief that individuals can improve society in small, everyday ways. Dorothea’s successes and failures not only in love but as an ardent social reformer will resonate with all of us who look at the world today and ask, as Dorothea did in her time, “What could she do, what ought she to do?” With bold illustrations by artist Keren Katz, the Restless Classics edition of ＜em＞Middlemarch＜/em＞ is a thoroughly modern edition of one of the most important novels ever written.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞PRAISE FOR MIDDLEMARCH＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Eliot had such power, and she knew she had. And such courage.”＜br /＞ ＜strong＞ーA. S. Byatt, author of ＜em＞Possession＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Children’s Book＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“＜em＞Middlemarch＜/em＞ is so careful to correct any habit to side with one person rather than another that the narrator even corrects herself.”＜br /＞ ＜strong＞ーJohn Mullan, author of ＜em＞What Matters in Jane Austen?＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“A novel without weaknesses, it renews itself for every generation.”＜br /＞ ＜strong＞ーMartin Amis, author of ＜em＞Inside Story＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“＜em＞Middlemarch＜/em＞, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections, is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.”＜br /＞ ＜strong＞ーVirginia Woolf＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Eliot found fulfillment in a relationship that society shunnedーno wonder her study of marriage captures a climate of change.”＜br /＞ ＜strong＞ーJennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of ＜em＞A Visit from the Goon Squad＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Manhattan Beach＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“＜em＞Middlemarch＜/em＞ shows us the contours and indeed the very language of the characters’ inner lives.”＜br /＞ ＜strong＞ーMichael Gorra, author of ＜em＞Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and the Making of an American Masterpiece＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞ABOUT THE AUTHOR＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞George Eliot＜/strong＞ was the pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans, an English Victorian author whose major works include ＜em＞The Mill on the Floss＜/em＞, ＜em＞Silas Marner＜/em＞, ＜em＞Middlemarch＜/em＞ and ＜strong＞Daniel Deronda.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞ABOUT THE INTRODUCER＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞Rebecca Mead＜/strong＞ joined ＜em＞The New Yorker＜/em＞ as a staff writer in 1997.
