About this ebook

Set in the early years of the 19th century, the novel tells the story of Silas Marner, a young weaver, member of a small Calvinist congregation in Lantern Yard, a slum street in Northern England. He is accused of stealing the congregation's funds while watching over the very ill deacon. Silas claims that he is being framed and accuses his best friend, William Dane, and believes that God will direct the process and establish the truth. However, people don't believe him and the woman Silas was to marry breaks their engagement and marries William instead. With his life shattered, his trust in God lost, and his heart broken, Silas leaves Lantern Yard and the city for a rural area where he is unknown. Marner travels south to the Midlands and settles near the rural village of Raveloe in Warwickshire where he lives isolated and alone, choosing to have only minimal contact with the residents beyond his work as a linen weaver. He devotes himself wholeheartedly to his craft and comes to adore the gold coins he earns and hoards from his weaving. But another theft happens and it changes his life again.

George Eliot

George Eliot (1819–1880), born Mary Ann Evans, was an English writer best known for her poetry and novels. She grew up in a conservative environment where she received a Christian education. An avid reader, Eliot expanded her horizons on religion, science and free thinkers. Her earliest writings included an anonymous English translation of The Life of Jesus in 1846 before embracing a career as a fiction writer. Some of her most notable works include Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss(1860) and Silas Marner.
