Libro: Middlemarch: (Hepburn Classics)

“People are almost always better than their neighbors think they are.”
Considered one of the great novels of English literature, Middlemarch examines the workings of a fictional town, and the lives of its diverse inhabitants. Rich with vivid and complex personalities, it nonetheless offers an intimate portrait of its two principal characters: Dorothea Brooke and Tertius Lydgate.

Perceptive, nuanced, and with a realism that many did not expect from a ‘woman writer’, Middlemarch is regarded as Eliot’s masterpiece. It is a testament to her extraordinary gifting, and in the years since its publication countless readers have come to love the book Virginia Woolf called ‘one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.’
