A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Set in the early years of the 19th century, 'Silas Marner' tells the story of an embittered weaver expelled from a small religious community for a theft he did not commit. Living as a recluse in the village of Raveloe, Silas exists only for work and his precious hoard of money - until that money is stolen, and an orphaned child wanders into his house one cold winter s night. Given the chance to change his life Silas adopts the child - but his past, like that of the local squire's son with whom his fate is bound, will one day come back to haunt him. Set in the 19th century 'Silas Marner' is a classic tale of familial love and loyalty, reward and punishment, and above all humble friendships.
