Description
Silas Marner, an embittered weaver wrongly accused of theft and exiled from a religious community, lives a solitary life in Raveloe, finding solace only in work and his cherished hoard of money. However, when his wealth is stolen and an orphaned child enters his home, Silas is presented with an opportunity to transform his existence. The fate of both Silas and Eppie, the young girl he takes in, becomes intertwined with that of Godfrey Cass, the son of the village Squire, who, like Silas, is ensnared by his past. George Eliot’s beloved novel, « Silas Marner, » skillfully weaves humor, profound symbolism, and incisive social critique to craft a portrayal of rural life that is both unsentimental and warmly affectionate.
