Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George Eliot Mary Ann Evans, as her father recorded in his diary, was born at Arbury Farm, at five o´clock in the morning of 22nd November 1819. Her father, Robert Evans, was son of George Evans, a builder and carpenter in Derbyshire. The family had migrated thither from Northop in Flintshire. Robert Evans was brought up to his father´s business, and improved his position by remarkable qualities. He possessed great vigour both of mind and body, and was one of the men to whom love of good work is a religion. Once, when two labourers were waiting for a third to enable them to carry a heavy ladder, he took the whole weight upon his own shoulders, and astonished them by carrying it to its destination without help. He had also the keen eye of a skilful workman, and was especially famous for a power of calculating with singular accuracy the quantity of timber in a standing tree. He acquired the highest character for integrity and thorough devotion to his employers´ interests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
