Silas Marner: Large Print Edition

To Lose a Fortune and Gain a Treasure A child, more than all other gifts That earth can offer to declining man, Brings hope with it, and forward-looking thoughts." The novel presents the story of a Silas Marner, a weaver in Raveloe who loses his fortune and gains a treasure. It may appear to have been written with spontaneity and ease, but, in fact, it is brilliantly crafted. Its narrative voice, unlike that in Eliot’s longer works of fiction, is restrained, telling the story simply and swiftly, making pithy comments only occasionally. Silas Marner: the Weaver of Raveloe is a realistic novel centering on a humble weaver who renounces religion and humanity after members of his church find him guilty of a crime he did not commit. After he moves to a new town, he suffers another reversal when a thief steals a small fortune he had amassed from his weaving trade. The rest of the novel focuses on his transformation from an embittered man into a happy and beloved member of his community after he adopts a two-year-old girl who mysteriously wanders into his home on a snowy New Year's Eve. This large print edition of George Eliot's classic masterpiece is printed on high quality paper with a beautiful, durable cover.
