Sinopsis

The Scarlet Letter: A Romance (1850) is considered the American author Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'masterwork.' A work of historical fiction set in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the Puritan settlement of 1642-1949 itells the story of Hester Prynne, who after having a child as a result of an extra-marital affair attempts to live a life of repentance and dignity although she is marked by having to wear a Scarlett A on her person. Throughout the novel, Hawthorne explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt. The Scarlett Letter was one of the first mass-produced novels in the United States, prior printing of books generally done by hand. The 2,500 copies first printed sold out in days, and the mass-production of books opened up conversation about books and authors to a wider-audience on a national level. The first edition of The Scarlet Letter sold out in ten days and “made Hawthorne’s fame, changed his fortune and gave to our literature its first symbolic novel a year before the appearance of Melville’s Moby-Dick” (Bradley). Although an instant best-seller, the books sales over fourteen years only brought the author $1500.

Reseñas

El Oct 4 2010, Erhanilhan dijo:

An absolute criticism of Puritan society. Hawthorne portrays the hypocritic sides of the society by pointing its discrepancies and ill-interpreted biblical sides deeds. He also shows that the society was not working in the name of god as stated; instead worked for a group of people (especially powerful) that keep the lines in hand.

Sobre The Book Worm Bookstore, LLC

The Book Worm Bookstore originally opened its doors in October 2005. With the owner ready to retire, new ownership happened in November 2020. We are home to over 30,000 titles - both new and used. Although the majority of our inventory is online we do have in-store items not listed. Please contact the store directly if there is something you don't see. We just joined Biblio in May 2020, and with the change of ownership, are finding some inconsistencies with our database. Since items come and go daily, we may have a higher rate of rejecting orders so our rating may not be stellar for a bit. Don't hold it against us as we are working diligently to get our database updated. Thank you for supporting your local community bookstore.Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
