Sumérgete en la obra maestra de George Meredith, 'The Egoist', una novela que explora las complejidades del egoísmo y la sociedad en la Inglaterra victoriana. A través de personajes ricamente desarrollados y diálogos ingeniosos, Meredith ofrece una crítica mordaz de las pretensiones y el autoengaño humano. Esta edición de Penguin Classics presenta una introducción perspicaz de George Woodcock, que enriquece la experiencia de lectura y proporciona un contexto valioso para comprender la profundidad de la novela.
George Meredith was an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era. At first, his focus was poetry, influenced by John Keats among others, but Meredith gradually established a reputation as a novelist. The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) briefly scandalised Victorian literary circles. Of his later novels, the most enduring is The Egoist (1879), though in his lifetime his greatest success was Diana of the Crossways (1885). His novels were innovative in their attention to characters' psychology, and also portrayed social change. His style, in both poetry and prose, was noted for its syntactic complexity; Oscar Wilde likened it to "chaos illumined by brilliant flashes of lightning". Meredith was an encourager of other novelists, as well as an influence on them; among those to benefit were Robert Louis Stevenson and George Gissing. Meredith was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times.
