ReplyDeleteMy favourite book which I have till date preserved hoping to re read patches of it is "The Mill on the Floss" by George Eliot. I read this book during my final year of graduation as it was a part of our syllabus. The book describes the life of Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom Tulliver and their journey from childhood to adultohood. The book is based on Victorian society and the kind of social impositions Maggie as a girl in a patriarchal society faced. What I really liked about this book was the character Maggie, she rebelled against the society and was a staunch believer of her own moral rights. Maggie's ways of living were very much boy like as she had a great influence of her brother. As Maggie enters the teenage she grows into a deep thinker and someone who would do anything for love of her brother. But Tom was not someone who cared as much as Maggie did. There were times when he would not miss a chance to humiliate her in front of many people. The book also talks about the hypocrisies of Victorian society which is one of most major influence from the author's life. George was a masculine pen name by which she published her writings as Victorian society would not read writings by women. Maggie the character from book resembled like author in many ways. Be it growing up in a controversial and unconventional life. Throughout the book Maggie and Tom's interior's monologue makes us as a reader understand their psychology. Maggie as a deep thinker is also a reader herself and the quotes she reads are quoted in the book too which makes the book philosophical and autobiographical type.
ReplyDeleteThe author's way of writing lends the novel a lively touch. Here's quoting Maggie which depicts her not only as a deep thinker but someone who knows the worth of relations unlike her brother. “I desire no future that will break the ties of the past.”
I equate reading with a spiritual activity. The magic of the written word transforms an individual into a completely different world. Apart from this , books also inspire us to be better human beings. It opens up our minds and help us streamline our thoughts. One such book which has helped me is -The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
ReplyDeleteOne of my dear friends gifted the copy of the famous book . I am ver thankful to her till this day. Many a life's lessons are taught in this book. The story of Santiago, a Shepard boy who was on a journey to realise his dream; his personal legend, has been nothing short of being an inspiring master piece. One of the powerful messages that the book spreads is to rise above failures, the unity of the university to help realise our dreams. The book also talks about believing in our destiny; belief in self and to rise above all hurdles or challenges in life. There is also a larger plan that life has to offer to us.
Many a times in life we find ourselves in such situations , a book like The Alchemist helps in strengthening our own hope. The narrative of the book is also quite an interesting read. The language is simple and manages to strike a cards with the reader. I would highly recommend the book for the power of positivity it offers to the readers.
