Set in the early 19th century, Silas Marner follows Silas Marner, a weaver falsely accused of theft by his best friend. Heartbroken and isolated, Silas moves to the rural village of Raveloe, where he finds solace in hoarding his hard-earned gold. His life changes dramatically when his gold is stolen and a young, golden-haired child named Eppie wanders into his home. Silas adopts Eppie, who brings new purpose and joy to his life. Over the years, Eppie becomes a cherished part of the community, leading Silas to unexpected revelations and a deeper sense of belonging in the village.
Silas Marner is celebrated for its strong realism and sophisticated exploration of various themes, including religion, industrialization, and community. This seemingly simple tale of a linen weaver delves deeply into the human condition, examining the effects of isolation and redemption. The novel also reflects Darwinian ideas of chance and examines the influence of myth, legend, and folktales. George Eliot's intricate handling of themes like time, morality, and human connection continues to resonate with readers and critics alike.
This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
