Like a spider from a fairy-tale, Silas fills fifteen monotonous years with weaving and accumulating gold. The son of the wealthy local Squire, Godfrey Cass also seeks an escape from his past. One snowy winter, two events change the course of their lives: Silas's gold is stolen and, a child crawls across his threshold. Combining the qualities of a fable with a rich evocation of rural life in the early years of the nineteenth century, Silas Marner (1861) is a masterpiece of construction and a powerful meditation on the value of communal bonds in a mysterious world.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionBook Series: Oxford World's ClassicsTopic: Classic FictionItem Weight: 181gRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
