Book Description
A Phoenix Recording
In the novel that Alexandre Dumas called "the masterpiece of the century," three unworldly people find themselves trapped by unwise love in the English midlands of the early 1800s.
Adam Bede, a simple carpenter, loves too blindly; Hetty Sorrel, a coquettish beauty, too recklessly; Arthur Donnithorne, a dashing squire, too carelessly. Their innocence, vanity and imprudence lead them into a triangle of seduction, murder and retribution.
"Eliot's growing number of fans will feast on her first full-length novel, which probes the uncommon heroics of commonplace people." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
