Adam Bede. E-book. Formato Mobipocket. A remarkably vivid depiction of village life provides the backdrop to George Eliot&rsquo;s first novel, a story of &nbsp;love and betrayal invested with social realism of unprecedented sensitivity.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Adam Bede is an upstanding young carpenter whose greatest weakness is his infatuation with the self-absorbed village beauty, Hetty Sorrel. Hetty has secretly set her sights on Captain Arthur Donnithorne, heir to the local squire&rsquo;s estate; his abandonment of her and her engagement to Adam set in motion a tragedy that will touch many people&rsquo;s lives. When Hetty lands in prison, accused of murder and facing a sentence of execution by hanging, it is her fervent young cousin Dinah Morris, a Methodist preacher, whose intervention offers both Hetty and Adam comfort and the hope of peace.<br /><br />The evocations of a lost rural world for which <i>Adam Bede</i> was so resoundingly praised on its publication in 1859 are charged in Eliot&rsquo;s hands with a personal compassion that intensifies the novel&rsquo;s outer dramas of seduction and betrayal and inner dramas of moral growth and redemption.
