Produktbeschreibung
´the only true knowledge of our fellow-man is that which enables us to feel with him´George Eliot´s first published work consisted of three short novellas: ´The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton´, ´Mr Gilfil´s Love-Story´, and ´Janet´s Repentance´. Their depiction of the lives of ordinary men and women in a provincial Midlands town initiated a new era of nineteenth-century literary realism. The tales concern rural members of the clergy and the gossip and factions that a small town generates around them. Amos Barton only realizes how much he depends upon his wife´sselfless love when she dies prematurely; Mr Gilfil´s devotion to a girl who loves another is only fleetingly rewarded; and Janet Dempster suffers years of domestic abuse before the influence of an Evangelical minister turns her life around. These stories are remarkable for the tenderness with which Eliot portrays a bygone time of religious belief in a newly secular age, giving literary fiction an alternative language to religion and philosophy for the observation and understanding of human experience.
