博客來In ＂Brother Jacob,＂ George Eliot, the celebrated author of ＂Middlemarch＂ and ＂Silas Marner,＂ turns her keen eye for character and social observation to a smaller stage. Set in 19th-century England, this short story offers a sharply observed and humorous glimpse into village life. Through a focused character study, Eliot subtly satirizes societal norms and expectations. This reprinted edition allows readers to rediscover the wit and wisdom of one of literature’s most insightful voices. ＂Brother Jacob＂ explores themes of human nature with enduring relevance, showcasing Eliot’s talent for crafting compelling narratives that resonate across time. It provides an accessible entry point into her broader body of work, offering a taste of her signature blend of realism and moral complexity.
