Silas Marner is an unhappy man who, after a romantic and social disappointment, flees his city and settles as a weaver in the village of Raveloe. There, he leads a quiet but solitary and rootless life, devoting himself entirely to work and saving money. One day, his savings vanish, and shortly afterward, as if by a twist of fate, an abandoned little girl appears, whom he decides to adopt. The care he gives her and her upbringing transform his life.
