If you have a heart, the story of Silas Marner will warm it. You are better coming to it fresh, without knowing anything of the simple yet solid plot, so I will say nothing of it. I will just urge you to read this wonderful book. Eliot writes beautifully and from page one, you realize you are in the hands of a true artist. This is a very human, very English story of simple people living through those very basic emotions that make the world turn and give the universe meaning. <p> Silas Marner is one of the greatest novels in the English language. <p> Yes, it starts out sad, as our pathetic hero looses both his trust in humanity and his faith in God. But the power of love replaces his lust for money, and wins out in the end. Meanwhile, morally poor but financially rich, high-living Godfrey Cass provides a counterpoint to simple Silas. At the end theres a surprise when the fate of Godfreys evil brother is revealed. <p> When youre all done, before you file Silas Marner on the shelf, go back and read the paragraph about Silas thoughts when he discovers that his hordes of coins are missing. If you have ever felt sudden extreme loss, you will recognize the stages of despair from disbelief to acceptance like a man falling into dark water. Which is why this book is not suitable for children, and is most appreciated by those who have undergone their own moral redemption. <p> Silas has been the inspiration for many other characters, including Dickens Scrooge. He has been portrayed in movies, including A Simple Twist of Fate starring Steve Martin. But none is as good as the original. If you havent read it since junior high, try it again. Silas Marner is an excellent book. Theres a gem of human understanding in every chapter.
