«Adam Bede» is the classic novel by George Eliot, published by Penguin in paperback (608 pages, in English).
In the English countryside, the honest carpenter Adam Bede loves the young dairymaid Hetty Sorrel, whose vanity drives her into the arms of the landowner Arthur Donnithorne. The consequences of that relationship unleash a drama of love, guilt, remorse and redemption in the rural community of Hayslope.
George Eliot's first novel, originally published in 1859; this 1991 edition belongs to the Film/TV tie-in series, with the cover of the BBC drama starring Patsy Kensit.
For fans of nineteenth-century English literature and rural stories with a moral and social backdrop.
Mary Ann Evans, 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: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
