Romaani „Mesilased” sundmustik leiab aset 17. sajandi lopus. Leideni ulikooli bakalaureusekraadiga lopetanud Laurentius on saanud stipendiumi opingute jatkamiseks Tartu ulikoolis. Ikalduse kaes kannatav Liivimaa pole just koige sobralikum paik ning ulikoolis ja valjaspool seda hakkavad arenema sundmused, mis on kohati upris hirmuaratavad. Meelis Friedenthali esikromaan „Kuldne aeg” palvis 2004. aasta romaanivoistlusel kolmanda koha.

A level 4 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Clare West. In a hole under the floorboards Silas Marner the linen-weaver keeps his gold. Every day he works hard at his weaving, and every night he takes the gold out and holds the bright coins lovingly, feeling them and counting them again and again. The villagers are afraid of him and he has no family, no friends. Only the gold is his friend, his delight, his reason for living. But what if a thief should come in the night and take his gold away? What will Silas do then? What could possibly comfort him for the loss of his only friend?

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.‘Our consciousness rarely registers the beginning of a growth within us any more than without us: there have been many circulations of the sap before we detect the smallest sign of the bud.’Set in the agricultural town of Raveloe in the English countryside, Silas Marner is a tragic figure. Exiled from a religious community because of a wrongful accusation of theft, he works from day to day as a weaver, saving his money and living a lonely life as a recluse.It is only when his money is stolen and a small orphan girl, Eppie appears in his life that Silas’s fortunes begin to change and he truly begins to learn what it means to regain his faith in life.
