 | Silas Marner by Anne Smith, Basil Rathbone, Cathleen Nesbitt, Elizabeth Seely, Frederick R. Karl
Falsely accused and embittered, Silas Marner becomes a miser alienated from humanity and who loves only his hoard of money, until a child comes to him for shelter and redeems him through the power of love. This tale of simple people in small-town England has the unwarranted reputation of being moralistic and saccharine; it is, in fact, one of George Eliot`s most comic, balanced, and moving works of fiction. AUTHOR: Anne Smith, Basil Rathbone, Cathleen Nesbitt, Elizabeth Seely, Frederick R. Karl
