Brother Jacob (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162656304)

Brother Jacob is a novella written by the famous British author George Eliot. The story revolves around the life of David Faux, a young man who is determined to make a name for himself in the world. David is a weaver by trade, but he has ambitions to become a gentleman and live a life of luxury. To achieve his goals, David decides to invent a fictitious brother named Jacob, who he claims is a successful businessman living in London.David's plan works, and he is soon accepted into the upper echelons of society. However, his lies eventually catch up with him, and he is forced to confront the consequences of his actions. The novella explores themes of ambition, identity, and the consequences of deceit. Eliot's writing is characterized by its psychological depth and social commentary, making Brother Jacob a thought-provoking and engaging read.Among the many fatalities attending the bloom of young desire, that of blindly taking to the confectionery line has not, perhaps, been sufficiently considered.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
