"Сайлес Марнер" is brightest from "rural" novels George Элиот. Heroes live by convincing in the eyes of reader life, they are surrounded by the concrete, knowable world. It is the last "autobiographic" novel of authoress.Сайлес Марнер, skilful weaver and once respected member of small religious society, outlived treachery, still human injustice and loss of the incomes hardly earned by long years. When nothing, it would seem, will not return to locked and unsociable Сайлесу faith in life and people, in christmas days a little becoming an orphan girl appears on his threshold. And the soul of hermit thaws.
