THE SCARLET LETTER
HAWTHORNE, NATHANIEL
u003cbu003eThe scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude!--Nathaniel Hawthorne, u003ciu003eThe Scarlet Letteru003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eIn u003ciu003eThe Scarlet Letteru003c/iu003e, Nathaniel Hawthorne takes readers back to the puritan days of the American colonies, into a society as unforgiving as its harsh New England winters. The story of Hester Prynne, who bears a scarlet A upon her breast as a symbol of her adultery, and that of her pious lover who atones in tormented silence, is one that has captivated readers since its publication in 1850. Adapted to numerous plays, films, and operas, the original text is now available in a chic and affordable edition as part of the Word Cloud Classics series from Canterbury Classics.
