George Eliot
George Eliot's brilliant fiction debut contains three stories from the lives of clergymen, with the aim of disclosing the value hidden in the commonplace.
"The Sad Fortunes of the Rev. Amos Barton" portrays a character who is hard to like and generally despised—until his suffering shocks others into fellowship and sympathy.
In "Mr. Gilfil's Love-Story," young Caterina is courted by two opposite men: Wybrow, who is capable of loving only himself, and Mr. Gilfil, whose love is selfless.
"Janet's Repentance" recounts a conversion from sinfulness to righteousness, achieved through the selfless endeavors of an evangelical clergyman.
Written more than a decade after her break with the Christian faith, these tales represent Eliot's search for a "religion of humanity" compatible with the best qualities of Christianity.
(P)1998 Blackstone Audio, Inc.批評家のレビュー
“The exquisite truth and delicacy, both of the humour and the pathos of those stories, I have never seen the like of.”
(Charles Dickens)“As one comes back to [Eliot’s] books after years of absence, they pour out, even against our expectations, the same store of energy and heat, so that we want more than anything to idle in the warmth.”
(Virginia Woolf)“May leads the pack…bringing subtleties and shadings to her interpretations that few can equal.”
(Whitney Scott)“It is a first-rate novel, and its author takes rank at once among the masters of the art.”
(Times (London))
