Middlemarch - Audiobook

Middlemarch by George Eliot is a sweeping and deeply insightful novel that explores the intricate web of life in a small English provincial town during the early 19th century. With interwoven storylines and a wide cast of vividly drawn characters, the novel delves into themes such as marriage, ambition, idealism, social change, and the limitations of women's roles in Victorian society. At the center of the novel is Dorothea Brooke, a young woman full of noble aspirations, whose desire to do good and live a meaningful life clashes with the rigid expectations of her environment.

Rather than focusing on one hero, Middlemarch presents a mosaic of lives—clergy, doctors, landowners, bankers—each dealing with their own struggles, hopes, and moral dilemmas. Eliot's psychological insight and moral depth transform even the most ordinary lives into complex, moving portraits. Often considered one of the greatest novels in the English language, Middlemarch is both a brilliant critique of society and a compassionate examination of human nature.
