The Lifted Veil by George Eliot (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Lifted Veil by George Eliot The master of realism, George Eliot, makes a daring departure in this dark tale of ESP, mesmerism, and telepathy. In this little-known story-the only thing she ever wrote using a first-person voice-she explores the psychological state of a man who can read people's minds and see into the future, then finds himself in danger when he falls in love with a woman whose mind he can't read. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann, or Marion, Evans (1819-1880), was the author of several novels including Silas Marner. Middlemarch is considered not only her finest work, but one of the greatest English novels of the 19th century. Review "I wanted them all, even those Id already read." --Ron Rosenbaum, The New York Observer "Small wonders." --Time Out London "[F]irst-rate...astutely selected and attractively packaged...indisputably great works." --Adam Begley, The New York Observer "Ive always been haunted by Bartleby, the proto-slacker. But its the handsomely minimalist cover of the Melville House edition that gets me here, one of many in the small publishers fine Art of the Novella series." --The New Yorker "The Art of the Novella series is sort of an anti-Kindle. What these singular, distinctive titles celebrate is book-ness. Theyre slim enough to be portable but showy enough to be conspicuously consumed--tiny little objects that demand to be loved for the commodities they are." --KQED (NPR San Francisco) "Some like it short, and if youre one of them, Melville House, an independent publisher based in Brooklyn, has a line of books for you... elegant-looking paperback editions ...a good read in a small package." --The Wall Street Journal Review Quote "Small wonders" -Time Out London "I wanted them all, even those Id already read." -Ron Rosenbaum,The New York Observer Details ISBN0976658305 Author George Eliot Short Title LIFTED VEIL Pages 75 Publisher Melville House Publishing Series Art of the Novella Language English ISBN-10 0976658305 ISBN-13 9780976658306 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY FIC Year 2008 Publication Date 2008-01-31 Imprint Melville House Publishing Place of Publication Brooklyn Country of Publication United States Birth 1819 Death 1880 Residence Chilvers Coton, ENK DOI 10.1604/9780976658306 Audience General/Trade UK Release Date 2007-10-01 AU Release Date 2007-10-01 NZ Release Date 2007-10-01 US Release Date 2007-10-01 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
