{"product_id":"middlemarch","title":"Middlemarch by George Elliot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during the period 1830-32. It has a multiple plot with a large cast of characters, and in addition to its distinct though interlocking narratives it pursues a number of underlying themes, including the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism and self-interest, religion and hypocrisy, political reform, and education. The pace is leisurely, the tone is mildly didactic (with an authorial voice that occasionally bursts through the narrative), and the canvas is very broad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWHY WE PICKED IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause this is one of the great novels of interior life and social consequence, attentive to the small decisions that quietly determine a person’s future. Eliot’s intelligence is generous rather than showy, and the book’s pleasures are cumulative: the slow build of character, the moral pressure of community, the ache of wanting more from a life you’ve already begun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: George Eliot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Bbbz Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date: March 27, 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN\/EAN: 1604598611 \/ 9781604598612\u003cbr\u003eShips direct from distributor in 3 to 7 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45198885847084,"sku":"9781604598612","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/9781604598612.jpg?v=1768338855","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/middlemarch","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
