“Adam Bede has taken its place among the actual experiences and endurances of my life.”

Charles Dickens

George Eliot’s first full-length novel, Adam Bede, is a profound rendering of nineteenth-century English pastoral life.

This timeless story of seduction and betrayal follows the earnest carpenter Adam Bede, who has set his heart on the all-too-beautiful Hetty Sorrell. But Hetty is attracted to the fickle squire Arthur Donnithorne, whose dalliance with the young woman precipitates a series of unforeseen events.

Eliot’s gift for leisurely and lyrical prose is in full effect here, and her insight into human emotion and complexity is unrivaled.
