Produktbeschreibung
"The Mill on the Floss" by George Eliot is a poignant and richly textured novel that unfolds the lives of siblings Tom and Maggie Tulliver against the bucolic backdrop of rural England. The narrative, set in the early 19th century, revolves around the Tulliver family's struggles, both economic and emotional, as they navigate the complexities of love, societal expectations, and the inexorable currents of fate. Maggie, an intelligent and free-spirited young woman, grapples with societal constraints and familial obligations, while her brother Tom seeks to uphold the family's honor and financial stability. Eliot skillfully explores the tension between individual desires and societal norms, weaving a narrative that delves into the human condition with profound empathy. Against the backdrop of the titular mill and the symbolic Floss River, Eliot crafts a tale that is both intensely personal and universally resonant. "The Mill on the Floss" stands as a timeless exploration of the choices we make, the consequences they bear, and the indomitable spirit that persists in the face of adversity. With its vivid characters and masterful prose, Eliot's novel remains a classic portrayal of the intricacies of human relationships and the enduring struggle for autonomy and understanding.
Autorenporträt
Mary Anne Evans (22 November 1819 - 22 December 1880; alternatively Mary Ann or Marian), known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862-63), Middlemarch (1871-72), and Daniel Deronda (1876), most of which are set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight. Although female authors were published under their own names during her lifetime, she wanted to escape the stereotype of women's writing being limited to lighthearted romances. She also wanted to have her fiction judged separately from her already extensive and widely known work as an editor and critic. Another factor in her use of a pen name may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny, thus avoiding the scandal that would have arisen because of her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes.
