«Nell» is the contemporary novel by Mary Ann Evans based on the movie of the same name, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (308 pages, in Spanish).
Nell has lived in isolation, with no contact other than her mother, who hid her existence. Doctors Jerry Lovell and Paula Olsen believe she is incapable of communicating, but they discover that she has a language of her own that Lovell tries to understand. Her case awakens outside interests and ambitions.
The novel is based on the film script by William Nicholson and Mark Handley. This edition, published in 1995, includes the translation by Jordi Gubern and measures 13x21 cm.
For readers interested in stories of solitude and communication, and for those who know the film version starring Jodie Foster.
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). Like Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy, she emerged from provincial England, where most of her works are set. 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.
