The weaver Silas Marner, unjustly accused of theft by his best friend, goes into exile in the village of Raveloe, where he lives isolated and clinging to his gold. When his money is stolen and an abandoned child named Eppie appears, his isolation breaks and his affection for the little girl reconciles him with life and with the community.
The novel was originally published in 1861 under the title «Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe». This Penguin Popular Classics edition presents the complete, unabridged text.
For readers of classic fiction and Victorian novels, as well as for those seeking a narrative about redemption and English rural life.
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
