The classic novel of hope, redemption, and the indomitable human spirit, from beloved novelist George Eliot. In this heartwarming classic by George Eliot, a gentle linen weaver named Silas Marner is wrongly accused of a heinous theft actually committed by his best friend. Exiling himself to the rustic village of Raveloe, he becomes a lonely recluse. Ultimately, Marner finds redemption and spiritual rebirth through his unselfish love for an abandoned child who mysteriously appears one day in his isolated cottage. Somber, yet hopeful, Eliot’s realistic depiction of an irretrievable past, tempered with the magical elements of myth and fairy tale, remains timeless in its understanding of human nature and has been beloved for generations. With an Introduction by Frederick R. Karl and an Afterword by Kathryn Hughes

There is no journey upon this earth that a man may not make if he sets his heart to it. Never would Allan Quatermain—explorer, big game hunter, and adventurer extraordinaire—have thought he would need an old and mysterious map he had acquired years ago in an encounter with a portuguese man on his deathbed. But one day, a wealthy aristocrat approached Quatermain with a commission to find his missing brother, who had been traveling through Africa in search for the same lost mines of King Solomon as Quatermain's own map purportedly leads to. Quatermain accepts the aristocrat’s offer and begins his quest northward through Africa in search for King Solomon’s lost mines.
