La letra escarlata Español
En el Boston puritano, Hester Prynne lleva una A escarlata por adulterio y se niega a nombrar al padre de su hija, mientras el pueblo observa y el pastor Dimmesdale se marchita. La prosa de Hawthorne es lenta y sombría, y el silencioso desafío de Hester sostiene el libro.
The Blithedale Romance English
You get Hawthorne’s sharp, uneasy view of a reformist commune through Miles Coverdale, whose amused detachment keeps turning into jealousy and self-knowledge. Zenobia’s force, Priscilla’s vulnerability, and the strange presence of Westervelt make it moody and sometimes slow, but rewarding if you like moral ambiguity more than tidy idealism.
The House of the Seven Gables English
Fair warning, this one moves at the pace of dust settling, but poor proud Hepzibah nerving herself to open a penny shop in her cursed old family house is oddly touching, and Hawthorne's gloomy humor sneaks up on you. Best read slow, on autumn evenings.
The Scarlet Letter English
You watch Hester Prynne carry the scarlet A through a judgmental Puritan town, while Dimmesdale’s private guilt grows more painful than any public punishment. The prose is solemn and old-fashioned, but its sympathy for Hester, and its sharp sense of hypocrisy, make the slow reading worthwhile.
