About this ebook
A simple, but satisfying, story about retributive justice. Davy Faux (a name extremely well suited) is a duplicitous character who thinks he has escaped answering for his crimes, but is brought to justice in an ironic and fitting way.
Very quick read, with the obvious style that George Eliot brings to all her works. A moral tale.

Author
George Eliot
George Eliot was the pseudonym for Mary Anne Evans, one of the leading writers of the Victorian era, who published seven major novels and several translations during her career. She started her career as a sub-editor for the left-wing journal The Westminster Review, contributing politically charged essays and reviews before turning her attention to novels. Among Eliot’s best-known works are Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, in which she explores aspects of human psychology, focusing on the rural outsider and the politics of small-town life. Eliot died in 1880.
