Ilustration During Books Adam Bede

Reader, I ask you, what can be better than a long book full of good sentences?

That was a rhetorical question, of course - I think there is nothing better than good sentences following one on another, and this book is full of them.
But Adam Bede also offers that extra ingredient readers generally can't resist: intrigue.

The intrigue is centered on the curious nature of the rules of attraction, which is no surprise of course as variations on the classic love triangle often feature in George Eliot's books. However in Adam Bede, the rules of attraction seem to stretch well beyond the usual three-sided figure. Instead we have a far more complicated situation:

SB loves DM who loves AB who loves HS who loves AD.

*……*……*……*……*

Five isolated points. There seems to be no way to bring them together, no way to build them into a useful shape, such as a house, for example. And yet Adam Bede, who is at the centre of the problematic, is a carpenter who is very good at calculating distances and angles and the correct weight of roof timbers. Come on, Adam, we say encouragingly, build that house! Make it happen.

Meanwhile, our mental business is carried on much in the same way as the business of the State: a great deal of hard work is done by agents who are not acknowledged. In a piece of machinery, too, I believe there is often a small unnoticeable wheel which has a great deal to do with the motion of the large obvious ones...the human soul is a very complex thing.

A little mental business, a little adjustment of wheels and cogs, and not forgetting some small heart-related 'agents' their owners hardly know exist, has to be carried out by several of the characters before Adam's house can be built. It is a very interesting process to watch.


The human heart is a very complex thing indeed.

Crit Appertaining To Books Adam Bede

A three star read for this reader. Set in the rural community of Hayslope the novel follows the fortunes of the Bede family and their acquaintances.Found it difficult to invest in the principal character Adam Bede, some of his actions and interactions seemed hypocritical, but perhaps I'm being too harsh in my assessment. He didn't always put into practice what he preached. It was the young, vain, self centred Hetty Sorrel who held my interest and sympathy. On the other hand Dinah Morris, well

I loved this book! It was just a mellow fun story to read nothing riviting me to my seat and then all of a sudden I was dying! I have never in my life been completely torn; I couldn't stop reading because I had to know what would happen at the same time I had to stop reading because I was afraid to see what would happen. Never in my life have I seriously considered flipping to the back of the book to see how it ends, and I am not a spoiler of plots. Not to be cliche but I laughed and cried

George Eliots masterpiece is Middlemarch, but Adam Bede has always been my favorite Eliot novel. Im not sure why this is. It might be because Bede was the first Eliot book I read. I doubt this, however, because the first Austen book I read was Pride and Prejudice, but my favorite Austen book is Persuasion. I understand why Middlemarch is a masterpiece, yet I find myself agreeing with Dumas pere in considering Bede to be the masterpiece of the century.I first read Bede after watching the first

I took my time with this book. First, it was to enjoy Eliot's near-cinematic writing style in the beginning of the novel as she laid out the world and characters of "Adam Bede". Then, I read slowly to slow down the arrival of the inevitable fall from paradise. But Eliot handled it beautifully complete with cliffhangers that saw me, at one dramatic chapter, drop the book, throw my arm over my eyes and gasp for breath. You'll know where when you read it. Please do, Adam Bede's world seems bucolic

It would be a poor result of all our anguish and our wrestling if we won nothing but our old selves at the end of itif we could return to the same blind loves, the same self-confident blame, the same light thoughts of human suffering, the same frivolous gossip over blighted human lives, the same feeble sense of that Unknown towards which we have sent forth irrepressible cries in our loneliness. Adam Bede, George Eliot's first novel and second published work, is just as brilliant a novel as the

our sorrow lives in us as an indestructible force, only changing its form, as forces do, and passing from pain into sympathythe one poor word which includes all our best insight and our best love.In this novel, George Eliot gives us Hayslope, a village peopled with contrary types: young and old, earnest and frivolous, the ill-fated and those that struggle to good fortune. Heroes and villains of male and female persuasions are in the mix, and their interactions bring us the novels tragic plot. As

I think I have read somewhere Dinah Morris is also known as That Irksome Character...
