Middlemarch

Como sempre, as edições da Wordsworth classics não decepcionam. As letras, para algumas pessoas, podem ser pequenas, mas pra mim ela tem um tamanho muito bom. Veio em perfeito estado tbm

The page quality and font is okayish. I got used to it given the fact that it is a weighty tome.Coming to the book - a vivid portrayal of the rustic, provincial life. There were so many characters I loved. I sympathized with Dorothea. I started admiring her since getting introduced to her character. The level-headedness, the sensibility, the compassion, the love, the grief, the entanglement, the fight within and without, everything was top notch. The characters seem real, driven by motives and intent. The book is not something you buy just to experience the Victorian style of writing, the book is a gem you wish to preserve for the rest of your lives. The book demands your energy which very rarely a book does.The Author - very intelligent writing, out of this world yet distinct, connected and homely.Now I know why it is the Best English Novel ever written. If you wish to know it too buy it and read on.But yes its gonna take you elsewhere for a long long time. So be ready for that !

A charming glimpse into the lives of some memorable characters in a provincial town of 18th century England. The social and political times of that period is an absolutely fascinating read. The book leaves you wishing that maybe if things would have turned out differently for Lydgate and Dorothea .... perhaps if their lives had intertwined.... it would have been wonderful.But in a novel,it is as the author wishes! Also in today,s world, if a marriage would have been as constraining as Rosamond and Lydgate's, it could have been terminated in the blink of an eye. But those days were different. And a word for the sweetest couple in the book : Fred and Mary....in spite of their trials, their story ends on a happy note. All in all, a fascinating tale. A tad too long... but entirely worth it.

Listen, the cover is NOT the one I had hoped to recieve. It's quite tacky.But the text seems unabridged, complete and genuine.

Good read
