«Middlemarch» is the classic novel by George Eliot, in the German translation by Emil Lehmann, published by LIWI Verlag in hardback (708 pages, in German).
Set in a small provincial town in Victorian England, the novel interweaves several destinies in an era of social and political change: youthful ideals, frustrated ambitions and emotional conflicts. Through figures such as Dorothea Brooke, it explores the clash between personal happiness and social expectations.
Emil Lehmann's translation was originally published in four volumes in 1872/1873. This 2024 edition brings them together in a single volume with a reading ribbon.
For readers of classic novels and literary fiction interested in Victorian England, with a preference for German editions.
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
