Silas Marner

Falsely accused of theft, Silas Marner faces the disintegration of his life as a member of a Calvinist congregation in Lantern Yard. The evidence against him—a pocket-knife and a bag linked to the stolen funds—leads to his ostracism. Set against the backdrop of a Northern English slum, the story explores themes of isolation, community, and redemption as Silas navigates the consequences of the accusations and seeks to rebuild his life.
