Book: Adam Bede: 150th Anniversary Edition Eliot's classic tale of a hardy young carpenter who cares for his aging mother while in love with the trifling town beauty is now in this updated package that includes a new Foreword and Afterword. Reissue.
Adam Bede is a hardy young carpenter who cares for his aging mother. His one weakness is the woman he loves blindly: the trifling town beauty, Hetty Sorrel, whose only delights are her baubles-and the delusion that the careless Captain Donnithorne may ask for her hand. Betrayed by their innocence, both Adam and Hetty allow their foolish hearts to trap them in a triangle of seduction, murder, and retribution.
