Daniel Deronda

"Daniel Deronda," the final novel by George Eliot, published in 1876, is a complex and ambitious work that intertwines two distinct narratives. The first follows Gwendolen Harleth, a proud and beautiful woman facing a moral crisis and downfall after a misguided marriage. The second narrative introduces Daniel Deronda, a young man of uncertain lineage, who becomes increasingly interested in Jewish culture and identity after meeting Mirah Lapidoth, a Jewish singer.
