The Greatest Writers of All Time. Daniel Deronda Mobi Classics. Impressions of Theophrastus Such Illustrated Edition. How Lisa Loved the King. The central plot, however, is the love story between the lovely Esther Lyon and her reluctant suitor, Felix Holt. Felix seems to embody the pure voice of the common man, speaking with courage, selflessness, and unabashed virtue. He is almost unbelievably pristine in his moral makeup, but he was still fascinating. His prompting and nudging of Esther to abandon her pettiness and vanity has a surprisingly rapid effect on her, but this did not bother me, as I found the "early Esther" to be quite annoying and I--like Felix--very much wanted her to change.
Felix gets himself in some very hot legal water through a chain of events that seems a bit fantastical, but the plot moves along briskly. I am so used to George Eliot and have so much respect for her that I don't mind her lofty and rhapsodic passages. They are fine and they help make her the great author she is.
Adam Bede is about a carpenter and his neighbors in an area in England during the early eighteenth century.
What is Kobo Super Points?
The story is slow-going at times because the author writes in the local dialect, so it is a bit difficult to understand but totally relevant to the tale. Descriptions of the characters, the countryside and the town are well drawn and colorful. The characters are believable and sympathetic, while the story itself is engaging and satisfying. I am especially glad I read this book in this stage of my life rather than in my teenage years, because I wouldn't have had the patience to complete it.
One person found this helpful. Never seen this before and was quite taken aback when I opened package. Don't know if my senior citizen eyes are up to the task. George Eliot is my absolute favorite author. She was a true intellectual, and by necessity, in a male dominated society, largely self educated in terms of her advanced education.
She had an extremely subtle sense of humor and at the same time was able to convey great tenderness with exquisite class. Adam Bede, her first full length novel, is a perfect example of her style and class. One of the characters, Mrs. Poyser, was capable of some of the most humorous observations that I have ever read anywhere. Adam Bede is a novel that can be read for the pure joy of reading. I have seldom liked historical fiction, and when I realized that this book was just such a beast, I proceeded with some caution.
There were some stages when Eliot used dialogue among minor characters to provide relevant contextual information, and device that generally succeeded. Once the main characters appeared, Eliot's usual skill at creating believable characters held my interest completely.
And I learned a lot about the bonfire of the vanities and the qualities of a charismatic monk. At some points this story drug on and I found myself losing interest. Then an interesting thing happened with a not so likable character and the story kinda took off. Hetty, I am not a fan. I think a lot of this story could have been left out because I didn't see the point, but it was overall enjoyable.
