Silas Marner. The Weaver of Raveloe
George Eliot
Although the shortest of George Eliots novels Silas Marner is a cherished masterwork and a moving story of redemption by the one of the Victorian eras most accomplished novelists. Published in 1861, the author charts the life of the cataleptic, miserly weaver Silas Marner. Arriving in insular Raveloe after a wrongful expulsion from his Calvinist community in the north, Silas is a foreign and outcast figure, left alone to accumulate a useless fortune through his loom in the dawn of the new industrial age. His unhappy life is rendered unrecognizable when his fortune is stolen and he adopts a child Eppie. Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe is a tender and affecting tale of sin and repentance set in a vanished rural world and holds the readers attention until the last page as Eppies bonds of affection for Silas are put to the test.
Edgar Wallace
Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a prolific British crime writer, journalist and playwright, who wrote 175 novels, 24 plays, and countless articles in newspapers and journals. Over 160 films have been made of his novels, more than any other author. In the 1920s, one of Wallaces publishers claimed that a quarter of all books read in England were written by him. Silinski is one of Edgar Wallaces more over-the-top master fiends. He could teach Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley something about stock manipulation. Silinski and a group of gangster financiers make havoc with the markets, cause devastating financial turmoil. The action becomes ever more outrageous from there.

Silvertip had meant to kill the cold-hearted Bandini, but it was a kid wearing Bandinis cape who came out the saloon door and met Silvertips bullet. Now, Silvertip has taken an oath to take care of the kids business first, then track down Bandini and put the sidewinder six feet under - for good. An urge for roaming and a chance meeting with the bandit Bandini put Silvertip on the trail that leads to Haverhill Valley, where he finds more action than he ever bargained for. Neatly plotted and briskly told, it illustrates Brands remarkable gift for storytelling. Experience the West as only Max Brand could write it!
