Opis książki

Brother Jacob by George Eliot is a parody and a satire on whiteness. Eliot criticizes the career path of a confectioner in light of the anti-slavery movement. Excerpt: «Among the many fatalities attending the bloom of young desire, that of blindly taking to the confectionery line has not, perhaps, been sufficiently considered. How is the son of a British yeoman, who has been fed principally on salt pork and yeast dumplings, to know that there is satiety for the human stomach even in a paradise of glass jars full of sugared almonds and pink lozenges and that the tedium of life can reach a pitch where plum-buns at discretion cease to offer the slightest excitement?»
