by George Eliot (Author)
Maggie Tulliver's quick imagination is stifled by the claustrophobic contraints of family life in a provincial town. Her parents suppress her natural intelligence and instead focus their hopes and ambitions on her brother Tom. Disapproved of by all her relatives, Maggie yearns to be loved and admired as unconditionally as she loves and admires her morally unbending brother. But when Maggie does find love it compromises her irretrievably, and she has to face the bleak consequences of not conforming

Book Overview: * The great classics contain passionate romance, thrilling adventure, arresting characters, unforgettable scenes and situations. But finding time to read them can be a problem. So, we've condensed some of the finest books in the world to a manageable length to enable everyone to enjoy them * A unique concept * The reductions in length have been done with sensitivity and retain the author's own words * The popularity of TV and movie adaptations of the Classics shows that there is an audience for the Compact Editions series * Distinctive modern cover treatment and attractive, readable text * Includes a time line to place the book in its historical context * 'The Compact Editions are aimed at encouraging more mainstream readers to become better acquainted with our literary heritage which, personally, I salute' Sarah Broadhurst, The Bookseller * 'For ordinary readers - people who want nothing more than to be diverted by some of the greatest prose writing ever produced - I can't see why it matters if they opt for a crisper version of a rambling old classic' Kathryn Hughes, Guardian Unlimited Books
