Books by Nathaniel Hawthorne

The brooding mansion of the distinctive Pyncheon family is haunted by a centuries-old curse that casts a shadow of ancestral sin upon the last four family members. Hawthorne's Gothic Romance intertwines the popular, the symbolic, and the historical for a powerful exploration of personal and national guilt.

The Scarlet Letter: A Romance is a work of historical fiction by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1850.[1] Set in Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony during the years 1642 to 1649, the novel tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an affair and then struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. Containing a number of religious and historic allusions, the book explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt.

ΓÇ£No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.ΓÇ¥The Scarlet Letter is a literary landmark, chronicling Hester Prynne''s affair and the punishment she receives from the Puritan Colony in which she resides.One of the first mass-produced books in America, Nathaniel Hawthorne''s masterpiece is a chilling exploration of shame, social stigma, and society''s unquenchable thirst for revenge.This cautionary tale, drenched in symbolism and psychological complexity, forces the reader to consider if guilt, sin, and evil are inherent in all of us. A testament to the novels staying power, it is revered and referenced across the artistic spectrum; from film, literature, and television to music, opera, and the theatre; from D. H. Lawrence and Henry James to Childish Gambino and Taylor Swift.The Legend Classics series:Around the World in Eighty DaysThe Adventures of Huckleberry FinnThe Importance of Being EarnestAlice''s Adventures in WonderlandThe MetamorphosisThe Railway ChildrenThe Hound of the BaskervillesFrankensteinWuthering HeightsThree Men in a BoatThe Time MachineLittle WomenAnne of Green GablesThe Jungle BookThe Yellow Wallpaper and Other StoriesDraculaA Study in ScarletLeaves of GrassThe Secret GardenThe War of the WorldsA Christmas CarolStrange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr HydeHeart of DarknessThe Scarlet LetterThis Side of ParadiseOliver TwistThe Picture of Dorian GrayTreasure IslandThe Turn of the ScrewThe Adventures of Tom SawyerEmmaThe TrialA Selection of Short Stories by Edgar Allan PoeGrimm Fairy TalesThe AwakeningMrs DallowayGulliverΓÇÖs TravelsThe Castle of OtrantoSilas MarnerHard Times

CHEN PALACE, A UNIQUE PIECE OF ARCHITECT IN NEW ENGLAND. IT IS NOT JUST ANY BUILDING WHICH IS CONSTRUCTED WITH BRICKS AND SOIL, IT HAS A HISTORY OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE STAYED IN THIS BUILDING SINCE ITS CONSTRUCTION, WHO THEMSELVES ARE SO UNIQUE THAT THEY ARE KNOWN TO BE WHIMSICAL. THE INFRASTRUCTURE ITSELF HAS MAINTAINED A DISTANCE BETWEEN ITSELF AND THE REST OF THE VILLAGE, ALWAYS, RIGHT FROM THE DAY IT WAS CONSTRUCTED, OR WAS IT BEFORE CONSTRUCTION ITSELF? ALWAYS IN SECLUSION, ALWAYS WRAPPED IN THE MYSTIC LAYERS, PASSING THROUGH VARIOUS PHASES OF PROSPERITY AND DECLINE, STILL MAINTAINING THE SAME DISTANCE FROM THE VILLAGERS. THE PEOPLE STAYING HERE, WHAT ARE THEY MADE UP OFF? DO THEY HAVE TENDER MINDS? WHY ARE THEY SO STONEFACED? AND HOW IS IT THAT ONE DAY THEY DISCOVER THE TENDER FEELING OF LOVE? THE CURSED PALACE KEEPS ON MOVING ON THE UNFATHOMABLE ROADS YET VERY SWIFTLY ENGULFS THE READERS IN ITS INTERIORS.
