Silas Marner:
The Weaver of Raveloe –by
George Eliot
Author: Eliot, George [Evans, Mary Anne]
(1819-1880)
This is your Librarian, Mrs. Meier's, favorite book of all time; so it's especially exciting to have found this beautifully-illustrated copy on the Gutenberg Project (free downloadable eBooks!)! Everyone can enjoy this amazing copy at no cost!
This jewel of a book is an old classic, but--in spite of its perfectly-placed setting of Old England--it transcends time. It is a story of class-disparity, of loss, and of resurrection.
An young weaver, Silas Marner, is betrayed by his best friend and his tight, religious community. Having lost his betrothed and his high standing, Silas moves out of the city and into a quaint old country community in the England of the 17th Century.
Silas comes to love only gold and his solitude until a little girl brings him hope and love. Can he survive if he loses her, too?
