Description

"Daniel Deronda" by George Eliot is a novel published in 1876. Set in Victorian England, it weaves together two parallel stories: one following the beautiful but selfish Gwendolen Harleth, who makes a disastrous marriage to escape financial ruin, and another tracking the compassionate Daniel Deronda as he searches for his own identity while becoming drawn into London's Jewish community. Their fates intertwine in this exploration of moral choices, identity, and the emerging dream of a Jewish homeland. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
