Silas Marner. Væveren fra Raveloe

Written by George Eliot

Narrated by Mogens Bähncke

Tiden er årene under Napoleonskrigene (1792-1815), og vi følger den beskedne og enfoldige væver Silas Marners liv i en lille landsby. Han havde en særlig position i en lille religiøs sekt i London, men forlod byen, da han blev svigtet af sin bedste ven, William Dane, der havde stjålet en pose penge og beskyldt Marner for det. Marner vier sit liv til at opfostre et hittebarn - pigen Eppie.

Romanen sammen med Middlemarch er et af de centrale værker i George Eliots lysende forfatterskab.

George Eliot

George Eliot was the pseudonym for Mary Anne Evans, one of the leading writers of the Victorian era, who published seven major novels and several translations during her career. She started her career as a sub-editor for the left-wing journal The Westminster Review, contributing politically charged essays and reviews before turning her attention to novels. Among Eliot’s best-known works are Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, in which she explores aspects of human psychology, focusing on the rural outsider and the politics of small-town life. Eliot died in 1880.
