Silas Marner es un hombre desdichado que, tras un desengaño amoroso y social, huye de su ciudad y se instala como tejedor en el pueblo de Raveloe, donde lleva una vida tranquila, aunque solitaria y desarraigada, dedicándose en cuerpo y alma a trabajar y acumular dinero. Un buen día sus ahorros desaparecen y, poco después, como si se tratara de un trueque del destino, aparece una niña abandonada a la que adopta.Los cuidados que le procura y su educación cambiarán su vida.Esta historia, admirada por Henry James, Virginia Wolf y la propia reina Victoria, fue considerada por la crítica como una verdadera obra maestra y recrea magistralmente tanto la Inglaterra rural de la época como los entresijos del corazón humanoSilas Marner es la tercera novela de George Eliot, publicada en 1861. Un sencilla historia de un tejedor de lino, que se caracteriza por su fuerte realismo y el tratamiento sofisticada de una variedad de temas que van desde la religión a la industrialización de comunidad.La novela está ambientada en los primeros años del siglo XIX. Silas Marner, tejedor, es miembro de una pequeña congregación calvinista en la linterna Yard, una calle barrio pobre en una ciudad sin nombre en el norte de Inglaterra. Falsamente se le acusa de robar fondos de la congregación mientras se ve sobre el diácono muy enfermo. Se dan pistas Dos Tukar Silas: un cuchillo de bolsillo y el descubrimiento en su propia casa antes de la bolsa que contenía el dinero. Existe la fuerte sugerencia de que el mejor amigo de Silas, William Dane, lo ha involucrado, ya Silas había prestado su navaja a William, poco antes de que se cometió el crimen. Silas se proclamó culpable. La mujer con la que iba a casarse rompe su compromiso y más tarde se casa con William. Con su vida destrozada y su corazón roto, Silas deja la linterna Yard y la ciudad.Marner viaja al sur de la región central y se instala cerca de la aldea rural de Raveloe, donde vive solo, con sólo el mínimo contacto con los residentes. Él viene a adorar el oro que gana y hordas de su tejido.El oro es robado por Dunstan (Dunsey) Cass, un hijo más joven disoluto de Squire Cass, llevando terrateniente del pueblo. Silas se hunde en una profunda tristeza, a pesar de los intentos de los aldeanos que le ayuden. Dunsey desaparece, pero poco se hace de este comportamiento no es raro, y no hay asociación alguna entre él y el robo....
