About This Novel

This set of books is a collection of classic works by George Eliot, an influential novelist in English literature from the British Victorian era and 19th century. There are a total of 30 volumes including "Middlemarch", "Brother Jacob" and "Lifted Veil". Definitely worth reading for readers who like Eliot's works. The selected works are all in English and are must-reads for English lovers. "Middlemarch" tells the story of the young woman Dorothea's disastrous marriage and shattered ideals, and the young doctor Lydgate's tragic marriage and career failure. The author uses techniques such as contrast, symmetry, parallelism and repetition to include many characters and successfully expresses the disillusionment theme of "society defeating people". "Adam Bede" was reprinted eight times in one year and is based on a true story told to her by the author's aunt. The carpenter Adam Bede is the protagonist of this book. He falls in love with the beautiful farm girl Heidi. Heidi is vain and infatuated with the manor's grandson, the young captain Arthur. The character descriptions of the characters in the work are excellent, and the depiction of the countryside is also very moving. It is said to be "permeated with the breath of cows and the fragrance of grass." George Eliot is a master of description. She is not only good at describing the appearance of characters, but also the heart of characters. The paragraphs of detailed descriptions suddenly bring her characters in front of the readers - real and intimate. Eliot highlighted the moral principles of reconciliation, forgiveness and altruism in her early novels, idealized the daily life of ordinary villagers, and used the rich life content of the villagers to express the fulfillment, harmony and beauty of rural life in order to pursue ideal relationships between people.
