Daniel Deronda

Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of Victorian society, this novel uniquely blends social satire with moral introspection and a sympathetic portrayal of Jewish proto-Zionist themes. It features two central characters, Gwendolen Harleth and Daniel Deronda, whose narratives evoke varied critical responses. While Gwendolen's story is celebrated as a classic, Daniel's journey has faced criticism for its perceived lack of depth. The book has significantly influenced Zionist thought and has seen multiple adaptations, including notable stage performances.
