Middlemarch (Collector's Edition)
Middlemarch is a complex tale of idealism, disillusion, profligacy, loyalty and frustrated love. This penetrating analysis of the life of an English provincial town during the time of social unrest prior to the Reform Bill of 1832 is told through the lives of Dorothea Brooke and Dr Tertius Lydgate and includes a host of other paradigm characters who illuminate the condition of English life in the mid-nineteenth century.Henry James described Middlemarch as a ‘treasure-house of detail’ while Virginia Woolf famously endorsed George Eliot’s masterpiece as ‘one of the few English novels written for grown-up people’

Archivar
Aus dem Buch: "Mit brennenden Augen sah Liselore durch den Qualm und beobachtete die kommenden und gehenden Leute. Und sie mu�te l�cheln: Nein, von denen hier kniete wohl keiner mehr vor seinem Ofen und trommelte auch keiner mit dem Messer auf die Pfanne. Von denen hier glaubte keiner mehr an das durchl�cherte Himmelssieb. Die waren durch Schule und Zeitung l�ngst schon herangewachsen an die Erkenntnis der Sterngucker und w�hnten bis ins letzte zu wissen - was auch diese nicht wu�ten." August Sperl (1862-1926) war ein deutscher Archivar, Historiker und Schriftsteller.

Edith Wharton - The Touchstone
The Touchstone is a novella by the American writer and novelist Edith Wharton that follows the story of the lawyer Stephen Glennard. In the beginning of the narrative, Glennard finds himself impecunious and unable to afford to marry his beautiful fiancee, Alexa Trent. In desperation, a London magazine advertisement brings back to his mind the romantic letters that his dead ex-lover used to send him. Since the author of those letters, Margaret Aubyn, has posthumously become a famous novelist, the documents can surely be converted to quite a fortune once sold to avid publishers. This is what Glennard actually does by the end after removing his name from the letters. However, soon after marriage, his guilty conscience starts to torture him along with the ghost of the dead author which seems to be unleashed after the publication of the letters. Glennard starts to imagine that the people around him have learnt about his secret. Among these, the one he is most concerned about is his wife. He thinks that he does not deserve her love since he feels that he has betrayed her too. Yet, unexpectedly, when he finally confesses his secret to her, she decides to forgive him and help him recover from his psychological torments.
