# Silas Marner

By George Eliot.

"Silas Marner" by George Eliot is a novel published in 1861. A wrongly accused weaver flees his community after betrayal destroys his faith and future. He settles in rural Raveloe, living as a reclusive miser obsessed with hoarding gold coins. When his treasure is stolen, despair overwhelms him—until a mysterious child appears at his door on a snowy night. This unexpected arrival transforms his bitter existence, drawing him back into society and giving him a new purpose, even as hidden secrets threaten to upend his fragile happiness.
