Throughout his richly varied literary career, Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) wrote compelling short stories whose appeal has proven evergreen. Indeed his first important publication was an collection of stories called 'Twice-Told Tale. ' Another collection, 'Mosses from an Old Manse,' ' followed in 1846 and bought Hawthorne further success. The present volume contains six stories reprinted from those 2 collections, as well as another superb collection, 'My Kinsman, Major Molineux.' Here are tales rich in atmosphere and suspense, with plots centering on subjects as diverse as witchcraft, revenge, the power of guilt, and a passion for the beautiful - all in the distinctive voice of one of America's most admired writers.

Supernaturally good...

Hawthorne é um escritor que fascina leitores, mesmo aqueles de um século depois. Num estilo único e de prender o fôlego, os contos desse escritor norte-americano do século XIX são muito originais e inspiradores. inclusive para Edgar Allan Poe. Uma atmosfera de suspense e terror que tomam conta dos leitores durante o desenrolar das estórias. Contos que realmente gostei: 'Young Goodman Brown' e 'Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment'. Recomendo.
