Riassunto

566pages. 20x13x3cm. Broché. Chaque maison cache un secret, les murs ont des oreilles mais la bouche cousue. Il faut poser longtemps la joue contre leur sein, ccmme un docteur fiévreux, pour les entendre respirer. A Dun-le-Palestel, dans la Creuse, la maison de famille du narrateur en a si gros sur le c?ur et tant à dire qu'on va la confesser, pièce après pièce, l'écouter se raconter, souvenirs dérangés, vérités arrangées, les choses et les gens tels qu'ils furent, les échos et les ombres qu'il en reste. Elle finira bien par lâcher cequ'elle sait. Elle sait l'histoire d'un père qui, lui, avait choisi de se taire.

Reseña del editor:

`But it's bad - it's bad,' Mr Tulliver added - `a woman's no business wi' being so clever; it'll turn to trouble, I doubt.' Rebellious and affectionate, Maggie Tulliver is always in trouble. Recalling her own experiences as a girl, George Eliot describes Maggie's turbulent childhood with a sympathetic engagement that makes the early chapters of The Mill on the Floss among the most immediately attractive she ever wrote. As Maggie Tulliver approaches adulthood, her spirited temperament brings her into conflict with her family, her community, and her much-loved brother Tom. Still more painfully, she finds her own nature divided between the claims of moral responsibility and her passionate hunger for self-fulfilment. George Eliot's searching exploration of Maggie's complex dilemma has made this one of the most enduringly popular of her works. This edition offers the definitive Clarendon text with a new introduction that gives an account of the book's place in Eliot's life and the intellectual context of the time, as well as providing close textual analysis.
