Beschreibung

'Ah, but let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be always in her heart.' 
A tale of sin, punishment and atonement, The Scarlet Letter exposes the moral rigidity of a 17th-Century Puritan New England community when faced with the illegitimate child of a young mother. Regarded as the first real heroine of American fiction, it is Hester Prynne's strength of character that resonates with the reader when her harsh sentence is cast. It is in her refusal to reveal the identity of the father in the face of her accusers that Hawthorne champions his heroine and berates the weakness of Society for attacking the innocent. 
The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne, the bestselling author, is a classic that delves into the moral rigidity of a 17th-Century Puritan New England community. This bestseller is a timeless exploration of societal norms and personal strength. 
For fans of George Eliot (Middlemarch), Henry James (The Turn of the Screw), Leo Tolstoy (The Kreutzer Sonata, and Other Stories 1889 annotated), Herman Melville (Bartleby, the Scrivener), and Charlotte Brontë (The Professor).
