Beschreibung

George Eliot's Silas Marner, a 19th-century book, published in 1861, is a tale of injustice, betrayal, love and faith. It tells the story of a simple and hard-working weaver who is falsely accused of theft, stigmatized by the local community and pushed to leave his native town to live as a recluse. Leading a hermit's life, he spends all his time at the spinning wheel. His labor enables him to amass loads of gold which, to his great misfortune, are stolen from him. Amidst his disconsolate existence, fate rewards the poor weaver when a golden-haired little girl comes at his door on a winter's night. Silas decides to adopt the parentless child and names her Eppie after his deceased mother. The lovable girl succeeds in giving meaning and purpose to Silas life. Ultimately, Silas finds redemption and spiritual rebirth.

Eliot examines the dangers of oppressive institutions that cast away members without mercy. The story in addition to being an inspiring work which demonstrates the excellent fruits of forgiveness, loyalty, and love, is also the one that emphasizes the importance of perspective, empathy and hope. The novel remains timeless in its understanding of human nature and has been beloved for generations.
