Hailed by Henry James as "the finest piece of imaginative writing yet put forth in the country," Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter reaches to our nation's historical and moral roots for the material of great tragedy. Set in an early New England colony, the novel shows the terrible impact a single, passionate act has on the lives of three members of the community: the defiant Hester Prynne; the fiery, tortured Reverend Dimmesdale; and the obsessed, vengeful Chillingworth.With The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne became the first American novelist to forge from our Puritan heritage a universal classic, a masterful exploration of humanity's unending struggle with sin, guilt and pride. 《紅字》講述的是一出發(fā)生在北美殖民時期的戀愛悲劇。女主人公海絲特·白蘭嫁給了醫(yī)生奇靈渥斯，他們之間卻沒有愛情。在孤獨(dú)中白蘭與牧師丁梅斯代爾相戀并生下女兒珠兒。白蘭被當(dāng)眾懲罰，戴上標(biāo)志“通奸”的紅色A字示眾。然而白蘭堅貞不屈，拒不說出孩子的父親。白蘭的丈夫從英國來到北美，目睹了白蘭受罰的一幕，遂決定找出孩子的父親，進(jìn)行報復(fù)。當(dāng)時，丁梅斯代爾由于其出色的工作倍受當(dāng)?shù)鼐用竦膼鄞?，只是他在沉重的良心債?wù)壓榨下身體日漸衰頹。人民于是安排奇靈渥斯與牧師合住以治療他的病。白蘭由于有愧于丈夫，因此答應(yīng)了奇靈渥斯不公開他們...Hailed by Henry James as "the finest piece of imaginative writing yet put forth in the country," Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter reaches to our nation's historical and moral roots for the material of great tragedy.
