Description
Adam Bede, the first novel written by George Eliot (the pen name of Mary Ann Evans), was published in 1859. The story's plot follows four characters' rural lives in the fictional community of Hayslope-a rural, pastoral and close-knit community in 1799. The novel revolves around a love triangle between beautiful but self-absorbed Hetty Sorrel, Captain Arthur Donnithorne, the young squire who seduces her, Adam Bede, her unacknowledged suitor, and Dinah Morris, Hetty's cousin, a fervent, virtuous and beautiful Methodist lay preacher.

James Joyce, born on February 2, 1882, in Dublin, Ireland, was a groundbreaking modernist writer whose work transformed literature. Educated at Clongowes Wood College, Belvedere College, and University College Dublin, he showed an early talent for languages and a deep interest in the complexities of Irish society. These experiences shaped his unique narrative style and recurring themes.In 1904, Joyce met Nora Barnacle, his lifelong partner, and left Ireland to live across Europe, including Trieste, Zurich, and Paris. During this period, he wrote Dubliners (1914) and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), exploring Dublin life and personal identity. His 1922 masterpiece, Ulysses, reimagined Homer's epic in modern Dublin, pioneering the stream-of-consciousness technique.Though his work was often censored for its explicit content, Joyce's literary contributions have since been celebrated. Ulysses is considered one of the most influential novels of the 20th century. Joyce passed away on January 13, 1941, in Zurich, leaving a legacy that continues to impact writers and readers worldwide.
