Silas Marner
After an unfair banishment from a Puritan religious community, Silas Marner adopts a life of near-solitude, forsaking faith in God and his fellow man and replacing it with the worship of gold coins which he keeps hidden in his cottage. A series of events ulimately displace gold from the center of Marner's world and restores other people to his world. The often overlooked story recounts a deeply humanizing journey.
