{"product_id":"2940014098526","title":"DANIEL DERONDA (A PORTRAIT OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE)","description":"DANIEL DERONDA……. is a beautiful portrait of a young man's search for his past, and a young woman's struggle with the fruits of her own selfishness. What's more, George Eliot's last novel is a loving, powerful portrait of the Jewish people, in a time when they were caricatured at best. 875 Pages In Print!  A great read!  One of the true classics!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• This volume includes a “Detailed Biography” of our author, George Eliot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the last novel of Eliot’s career -- a lushly-written, heartfelt story about a young man searching for his past and clues to his future, as well as a vibrant strong-willed young lady who discovers that life doesn't always go your way. Even better, Eliot deftly avoided the cliches and caricatures of the Jewish people, portraying them with love and respect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Eliot published her final novel, it caused a massive stir -- not many novelists tackled the plight of the Jewish population, or how it compared to the gilded upper classes. In a way, \"Daniel Deronda\" is both a love triangle and an allegory -- Daniel must choose between the pretty, shallow English life (Gwendolyn) or a rich Jewish heritage (Mirah) with a background of tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis being the first Zionist novel in English…. George ELIOT wrote to Harriet Beecher Stowe and told her that she wished to do for the Jewish people what Beecher Stowe had done for the black people who were slaves in America.  Here is a fascinating portrait of British society and of the anti-semitism of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking for another good book?
