Adam Bede. Tome 2

If you are either learning French, or learning English as a second language (ESL) as a French speaker, this book is for you. There are many editions of Silas Marner. This one is worth the price if you would like to enrich your French-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Each page is annotated with a mini-thesaurus of uncommon words highlighted in the text. Not only will you experience a great classic, but learn the richness of the English language with French synonyms at the bottom of each page. You will not see a full translation of the English text, but rather a running bilingual thesaurus to maximize the reader's exposure to the subtleties of both languages.

More than three centuries and a half ago, in the mid spring-time of 1492, we are sure that the angel of the dawn, as he travelled with broad slow wing from the Levant to the Pillars of Hercules, and from the summits of the Caucasus across all the snowy Alpine ridges to the dark nakedness of the Western isles, saw nearly the same outline of firm land and unstable sea-saw the same great mountain shadows on the same valleys as he has seen today-saw olive mounts, and pine forests, and the broad plains green with young corn or rain-freshened grass-saw the domes and spires of cities rising by the river-sides or mingled with the sedge-like masts on the many-curved sea-coast, in the same spots where they rise today. And as the faint light of his course pierced into the dwellings of men, it fell, as now, on the rosy warmth of nestling children; on the haggard waking of sorrow and sickness; on the hasty uprising of the hard-handed labourer; and on the late sleep of the night-student, who had been questioning the stars or the sages, or his own soul, for that hidden knowledge which would break through the barrier of man's brief life, and show its dark path, that seemed to bend no whither, to be an arc in an immeasurable circle of light and glory.

Romola

Complete and unabridged. One of BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World. A masterpiece of candid observation, emotional insight and transcending humour, Middlemarch is a truly monumental novel. Endlessly appealing to modern readers, Middlemarch has been adapted as a BBC Radio 4 drama. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. This edition features an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jennifer Egan. Dorothea Brooke is a beautiful and idealistic young woman set on filling her life with good deeds. She pursues the pompous Edward Casuabon, convinced that he embodies these principles, and becomes trapped in an unhappy marriage. Then there is Tertius Lydgate, an anguished progressive whose determination to bring modern medicine to the provinces is muddied by unrequited love. They, and a multitude of other brilliantly drawn characters, reside in the town Middlemarch - the background to George Eliot's incomparable portrait of Victorian life.

Middlemarch

Ce grand roman politique oppose deux sortes de radicaux réclamant des changements politiques profonds, lors d'une campagne électorale dans l'Angleterre des années 1830 : Harold Transome, riche propriétaire terrien, candidat sous cette étiquette par opportunisme, et Felix Holt, homme du peuple qui n'a pas le droit de vote et dont le radicalisme est un engagement de l'être entier, désireux de changer l'organisation sociale, la répartition des richesses, de redonner à chaque individu une ' part d'homme ' dans la vie. Les deux hommes se disputent également l'amour d'Esther Lyon, la fille adoptive d'un pasteur.

Dans cette lutte entre ancien et nouveau monde, le mérite personnel l'emportera-t-il sur la naissance, pour signer l'entrée dans le monde démocratique ? La collision des destins personnels avec l'histoire collective est le vrai sujet de ce roman peu connu de l'auteure, traduit pour la première fois en français.
