Middlemarch

Middlemarch

Silas Marner 

The Mill on the Floss

"Who that cares much to know the history of man, and how the mysterious mixture behaves under the varying experiments of Time, has not dwelt, at least briefly, on the life of Saint Theresa, has not smiled with some gentleness at the thought of the little girl walking forth one morning hand-in-hand with her still smaller brother, to go and seek martyrdom in the country of the Moors? Out they toddled from rugged Avila, wide-eyed and helpless-looking as two fawns, but with human hearts, already beating to a national idea; until domestic reality met them in the shape of uncles, and turned them back from their great resolve. That child-pilgrimage was a fit beginning. Theresa's passionate, ideal nature demanded an epic life: what were many-volumed romances of chivalry and the social conquests of a brilliant girl to her? Her flame quickly burned up that light fuel; and, fed from within, soared after some illimitable satisfaction, some object which would never justify weariness, which would reconcile self-despair with the rapturous consciousness of life beyond self. "

Le jeune Daniel Deronda, qui a été élevé par son " oncle " en gentleman anglais, se voit attribuer des fonctions de passeur entre deux cultures, entre deux traditions religieuses : le hasard d'une rencontre l'amène à fréquenter la communauté juive de Londres. Son comportement généreux et chevaleresque le rapproche de la petite chanteuse Mirah et de son frère, véritable prophète des temps modernes rêvant d'un retour en Terre Sainte pour son peuple ; mais Daniel reste attaché à la belle Gwendolen, qu'il a vue se précipiter dans un mariage d'intérêt désastreux, tournant au tragique. Dans ce roman novateur, qui, un quart de siècle avant le freudisme, pressent l'existence de territoires non cartographiés de la conscience, le héros est écartelé entre le rôle de confident que Gwendolen veut lui imposer pour échapper à ses peurs et à l'enfer de sa vie conjugale, et la mission qui lui est réservée dans le monde juif.

Silas Marner

In the fictional town of Middlemarch, selflessness, social reform, and romantic love struggle to survive against human foolishness, economic missteps, and societal ideals. Young and intelligent, Dorothea Brooke hastily marries Casaubon, a middle-aged scholar working tirelessly on his "masterpiece, " The Key to All Mythologies. Their union soon sours, and Dorothea becomes trapped in a difficult situation that worsens upon the death of her husband. Elsewhere in town, Tertius Lydgate, an idealistic young doctor, is caught in an ill-fated union with the sweet but superficial Rosamund Vincy. Intertwined within the lives of these two unfortunate couples is the handsome artist Will Ladislaw, who is sympathetic to Lydgate's ideas about science and medicine, and who develops feelings for his uncle's wife-Dorthea Brooke. Through the voices of the characters in Middlemarch, author George Eliot brings to life various issues of her day, including the role of women, the nature of marriage, political reform, and the status of education. Hailed as the greatest novel in the English language by British author Martin Amis, Middlemarch has been adapted twice for television.
