FELIX HOLT - GEORGE ELIOT TASCHENBUCH

When the young nobleman Harold Transome returns to England from the colonies with a self-made
fortune  he scandalizes the town of Treby Magna with his decision to stand for Parliament as a
Radical. But  after the idealistic Felix Holt also returns to the town  the difference between
Harold's opportunistic values and Holt's profound beliefs becomes apparent. Forthright  brusque
and driven by a firm desire to educate the working-class  Felix is at first viewed with
suspicion by many  including the elegant but vain Esther Lyon  the daughter of the local
clergyman. As she discovers  however  his blunt words conceal both passion and deep integrity.
Soon the romantic and over-refined Esther finds herself overwhelmed by a heart-wrenching
decision: whether to choose the wealthy Transome as a husband  or the impoverished but honest
Felix Holt.
