An Old Best-Seller Refreshed for the 21st Century.Silas Marner, a
weaver, had been betrayed by his best friend and the woman Marner
loved. He sought refuge in a new community and turned his
affections from human beings to the accumulation of gold. Since he
was friendless in the new community, he became an object of
superstition and speculation -- until a orphaned infant was left at
his door. As we know today, the best rehabilitation can come from
having somebody to love, to care for. The circumstances of life
robbed Marner of his accumulated wealth and left him with only the
orphan as the object of his affections. The warm story that follows
tells a tale familiar to most parents, how having a child
transforms lives, focusing our concerns on the new life and away
from ourselves. This book has often been assigned reading in
literature classes, but students struggle with the original's
quaint language and difficult sentence structure. This version has
been adapted into modern English to make it much more accessible to
the modern reader. It is an old best-seller refreshed for a 21st
Century audience.
