SNOWFLAKES：BEST SHORT STORIES OF NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE 霍桑經典短篇小說（英文原版）

內容簡介

Nathaniel Hawthorne, born on July 4, 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts was an American short story writer and romance novelist. He is best known for his short stories and two widely read novels：The Scarlet Letter and The House of Seven Gables. Along with Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe much of Hawthorne's work belongs to the subgenre of Dark Romanticism. Young Hawthorne was a contemporary of fellow transcendentalists Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Louisa May Alcott. Hawthorne was part of this prominent circle of Massachusetts writers and philosophers. The transcendentalists believed in the “inherent goodness of both people and nature.” Hawthorne's style “is like purity itself.” Hawthorne's highest regarded short stories include My Kinsman, Major Molineaux , Young Goodman Brown, Feathertop, and The Minister's Black Veil . For the record, Hawthorne died in his sleep in 1864 during a tour of the White Mountains in Plymouth, New Hampshire. 霍桑的作品想象豐富、結構嚴謹。他除了進行心理分析與描寫外，還運用了象徵主義手法。他的構思精巧的意象，增添了作品的浪漫色彩，加深了寓意。代表作有《牧師的黑麪紗》、《年輕的布朗先生》、《拉帕西尼的女兒》等。長篇代表作品《紅字》已成爲世界文學的經典之一，是美國文學發展史上第一部象徵主義小說。 本書精選霍桑46篇經典短篇小說彙集成冊，以英文原版形式出版，同時提供配套英文朗讀供讀者免費下載（下載地址見圖書封底），邊聽邊讀，更好地提升英文閱讀水平。
