Romola
Podrobnosti o e‑knize
Set in fifteenth-century Florence, Romola is a delightful departure from English author George Eliot’s typical depictions of nineteenth-century English society, and is notable for being Eliot’s only work of historical fiction. Romola was Eliot’s fourth novel and turned out to be one of her least commercially successful works. Despite this, many literary critics and historians have argued that Romola was Eliot’s greatest novel.

O autorovi
George Eliot was the pseudonym for Mary Anne Evans, one of the leading writers of the Victorian era, who published seven major novels and several translations during her career. She started her career as a sub-editor for the left-wing journal The Westminster Review, contributing politically charged essays and reviews before turning her attention to novels. Among Eliot’s best-known works are Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, in which she explores aspects of human psychology, focusing on the rural outsider and the politics of small-town life. Eliot died in 1880.
