eBooks di Titolo S di George Eliot editi da E Bookarama

Pseudonimo di Mary Anne Evans, è stata una delle più importanti scrittrici britanniche dell’epoca vittoriana. Utilizzò questo nome maschile per gran parte della sua carriera per due ragioni: da un lato voleva essere presa sul serio come scrittrice e dall’altro voleva evitare i pregiudizi in quanto compagna di un uomo sposato, il filosofo e critico George Henry Lewes, con il quale visse vent’anni. Solo dopo aver raggiunto una certa fama come romanziera rivendicò le proprie opere, con scandalo di molti lettori. Nonostante il successo, le ci volle molto tempo per essere accettata nella buona società. Continuò comunque a usare lo pseudonimo con cui era diventata celebre.

Silas Marner. E-book. Formato EPUB George Eliot   -  E-Bookarama, 2025  - 

Originally published in 1861, “Silas Marner" (AKA "Silas Marner: the Weaver of Raveloe”), is the third novel by George Eliot. The novel tells the story of a weaver who turns from a life of greed to a life of generosity. This story has a strong redemptive theme - it is a tale of loyalty, forgiveness, and adoptive love.Wrongly accused of theft and exiled from a religious community many years before, the embittered weaver Silas Marner lives alone in Raveloe, living only for work and his precious hoard of money. But when his money is stolen and an orphaned child finds her way into his house, Silas is given the chance to transform his life. His fate, and that of Eppie, the little girl he adopts, is entwined with Godfrey Cass, son of the village Squire, who, like Silas, is trapped by his past. "Silas Marner", George Eliot's favourite of her novels, combines humour, rich symbolism and pointed social criticism to create an unsentimental but affectionate portrait of rural life. George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, who wanted to be anonymous due to her long affair with George Henry Lewes. She did not want her readers to focus on the rumours surrounding her love life. She also wanted to be taken seriously as a writer, which was not always possible for a woman during that period.
