Bello sì, perchè non posso dire il contrario... ma questo non vuol dire che mi sia piaciuto. E' più forte di me... mi ribello a questi libri in cui la catastrofe pende su ogni singola pagina. In cui il destino dei protagonisti scorre inesorabilmente verso la rovina. Mi fanno venire una rabbia che mi ... (continue)

Though Tom and Maggie Tulliver may be the main characters in this book, it abounds with a host of first rate minor characters. Take Mrs Tuliver, for instance, who though loving and lovable, honest, warm and kind, is really a very weak type of person. She'd like very much to take a stand against her husband and sisters, but she just cannot bring herself to do so. How real to life that is in many families! Like Dickens Eliot includes in her descriptions of family life such wonderful little details that pictures automatically appear in the mind.
Eliot's portrayal of the attraction of Maggie and Stephen Guest for each other - two people who know they shouldn't play upon one another's feelings - is an amazing construction of the cat and mouse game that takes place every day in every age throughout society. As is usual, the consequences were disastrous. George Eliot must have surely been writing from her own experience here.
This novel of Eliot's is not everyone's idea of a good story, but I liked it. I truly found it quite exciting, the characterisation brilliant, and the detail totally satisfying.
