Description
The most famous novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne and his magnum opus, a classic of American literature translated by Mariya Nikolenko. It is a story of forbidden love that reveals the manners and way of life of Puritan society, the inhabitants of mid-17th-century New England. The plot of “The Scarlet Letter” is rightly considered one of the most dramatic and tense in literature. The novel is included in the university curriculum.
Young Englishwoman Hester married an elderly doctor, and together they moved to Boston. Soon her husband went on a journey and for many years did not send word. Left alone, Hester could not resist the feelings that arose for a young clergyman… and bore him a child. For her love she became the outcast, who for the rest of her life would be forced to wear on her dress a scarlet letter “A”—adulteress—adulteress.
A narrative about a woman carrying her “shame” with her head held high, about her endless strength of spirit.
