This beautiful edition of the original British release is a rare find, in good condition, showing minimal shelf wear. The pages are tight, unmarked, and the book is tight, square, and unmarked. Daniel Deronda by George Eliot is a rich, complex novel originally published in 1876, and it remains one of her most celebrated works. The Penguin English Library edition is part of a collection known for beautifully designed paperbacks that make classics accessible to modern readers. The novel itself is a blend of two interconnected storylines. One follows the young, impulsive, and flawed Gwendolen Harleth, whose life takes a dark turn after a disastrous marriage to the manipulative Henleigh Grandcourt. The other focuses on Daniel Deronda, a compassionate and thoughtful man searching for his identity. His path leads him to his Jewish heritage, a cultural awakening, and a deeper purpose in life.
