Features: This novel is a long work by the 19th-century American Romantic writer, Hawthorne. The novel is set in the colonial era of America over two hundred years ago, but it exposes the cruelty of the legal codes, the deception of religion, and the hypocrisy of morality in 19th-century capitalist America. The protagonist, Hester, is portrayed as an embodiment of lofty morality. She not only reforms the hypocritical Dimmesdale but also influences a society filled with sin. It is not only a representative work of American Romanticism but is also considered the pioneer of American psychological fiction. This book is a bilingual edition of English and Chinese.
