(Marian Evans) Lewes, Marian Evans The Lifted Veil Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lifted_Veil_(novella) David Price "The Lifted Veil" by George Eliot is a short novel written during the late 19th century, a time often characterized as the Victorian era. This thought-provoking work delves into the complexities of human perception, emotional suffering, and the agonies of foreknowledge as experienced by its protagonist, who possesses the uncanny ability to foresee events before they occur. The narrative explores themes of love, jealousy, and the struggle to understand oneself and others in a world steeped in both emotional depth and existential dread. The story unfolds through the perspective of Mr. Latimer, a sensitive and introspective individual cursed with extraordinary foresight that provides him both insight and emotional torment. As he grapples with his powers, he becomes entwined with Bertha, the woman he loves but who ultimately embodies the very traits he despises. Their tumultuous relationship is marked by jealousy and heartache, leading to a deepening sense of despair and an unraveling of his once-idealized perception of love. Ultimately, as Latimer succumbs to his unfathomable insight, the burden of his gift isolates him from those around him, leaving him to reflect on the interplay of fate, free will, and the frequently harsh realities of human nature.
