Silas Marner : The Weaver of Raveloe /
George Eliot.
- New York : Books Inc., [s.a.]
- 250 p.
Silas Marner is a miserable man who, after a loving and social disappointment, runs away from his city and settles as a weaver in the town of Raveloe, where he leads a quiet life, although lonely and uprooted, devoting himself body and soul to work and accumulate money. One day his savings disappear and, shortly after, as if it were a barter of fate, an abandoned girl appears to whom he adopts. The care you seek and your education will change your life. This story, admired by Henry James, Virginia Wolf and Queen Victoria herself, was considered by critics as a true masterpiece and masterfully recreates both rural England of the time and the ins and outs of the human heart.
