Product Information
From the Publisher
An "A" for "adultery" marks Hester Prynne as an outcast from the society of colonial Boston.
Born on the fourth of July in 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote the stories that lie at the heart of the American Romantic movement.
His portraits of colonial life reflect his Puritan heritage and offer fascinating profiles of individuals who strive for freedom from social conventions.
A timeless exploration of moral and spiritual issues, along with its philosophical and psychological insights.
One of the greatest American novels, its themes of sin, guilt, and redemption, woven through a story of adultery in the early days of the Massachusetts Colony, are revealed with remarkable psychological penetration and understanding of the human heart.
