离群独居的马南,终于在爱碧出现后重拾希望与信心——在丢掉信仰的黑暗里,爱是救赎之光。
The story opens as Silas Marner, falsely accused of theft, loses everything, including his faith in God. Embittered and alienated from his fellow man, he moves to the village of Raveloe, where he becomes a weaver. Taking refuge in his work, Silas slowly begins to accumulate gold—his only joy in life—until one day that too is stolen from him. Then one dark evening, a beautiful, golden-haired child, lost and seeing the light from Silas’s cottage, toddles in through his doorway. As Silas grows to love the girl as if she were his own daughter, his life changes into something precious. But his happiness is threatened when the orphan’s real father comes to claim the girl as his own, and Silas must face losing a treasure greater than all the gold in the world.
《织工马南》是艾略特基于对儿时乡村生活的回忆写成的三部小说中的一部。小说描述了一生的坎坷经历:塞拉斯·马南被诬陷偷了教堂的钱,愚昧的教区人们以抽签的形式断定马南有盗窃行为,未婚妻也抛弃了他,满腹委屈和怨恨的他离开了自己的故乡,到了一个叫瑞维洛的村庄附近居住。原教区的经历使他怀疑自己的信仰,认为上帝对他很不公平。他唯一的乐趣便是晚上取出他织布所积聚的金币来抚摩观看。十五年后的一天晚上,他的金币突然被盗,他唯一的乐趣被剥夺了。就在他万念俱灰的时候,一个幼儿爱碧偶然闯入了他家,被他收养。爱碧的到来,给塞拉斯的生活增添了很多乐趣,他开始与人交往,不再逃避生活,后来他的金币失而复得,他开始意识到上帝并没有抛弃他,爱碧实际上是上帝送给他的礼物,从此他的信仰更加坚定。
