Daniel Deronda

Description

George Eliot has written plenty of novels, but only one that has actually been set in her contemporary Victorian era. Daniel Deronda is a complex, lengthy and quite fascinating tale about family and life’s hardships, as well as love, loyalty, friendship and devotion, outlining the lives of Daniel Deronda and Gwendolen Harleth – two youths who meet in a seemingly accidental setting in the imaginary German town of Leubronn.

The novel follows two distinct plots: Daniel and Gwendolen’s stories which it narrates in great detail, telling of the difficulties and hardship that has driven Gwendolen to a lifestyle where gambling almost threatens to ruin her, while the financial problems of her family already sets her up toward an uncertain future; and of the intriguing life of Daniel Deronda, who is driven by fate through an unlikely series of events which bring him to meeting the long lost brother of a young Jewish girl he had rescued from drowning.

The tumultuous and complicated events that lead Daniel and Gwendolen to cross paths and later take a few truly difficult and tough decisions about their respective futures will definitely provide readers with a delectable reading experience, and witnessing the serpentine paths both have taken in their attempt to aspire toward happiness will further enrich the story.

As you continue reading, you will find Daniel Deronda to progress from a seemingly simple setting to an engaging and quite inspiring plot that you will likely find more than satisfying, whether you’re more interested in the romantic aspect of the story, or you’re just looking for some light entertainment that will also inspire some deeper thoughts about life and the choices we make on a day-to-day basis.

The values and lessons one can derive from this exceptional publication truly makes Daniel Deronda one of George Eliot’s most distinguished masterpieces.
