Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe
Falsely accused of a crime and betrayed by his closest friend, the weaver Silas Marner has been hoarding his earnings for 15 years. Then in a single day, his gold is stolen and a lovely child appears on his doorstep. As he changes his life to meet the irresistible needs of the child, this living, shining treasure replaces his hollow material wealth, reawakening his humanity and helping him to rediscover a place among his fellow man.
An outwardly simple tale of a linen weaver, Silas Marner is notable for its strong realism and its sophisticated treatment of a variety of issues ranging from religion to industrialisation to community.
