The Scarlet Letter
from Pocket
Price: $3.95

Customer Review:

Why do books such as this keep being required reading in high schools? Havent there been any authors in more recent time that would provide students more relevancy?

The Scarlet Letter (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $7.00

Customer Review:

I think the many readers who were forced to partake of this classic were angry at their English teacher for making them read a book so wordy, detailed, and archaic in language. Many of the reviewers' complaints are about the author's style, which is definitely an acquired taste. Hawthorne doesn't... more info

Customer Review:

This book was purchased for my daughter for a class. I remember reading it in high school and yeap, still almost as drawn out as it was back then. We both think the same thing. But, a good read nonetheless.

A one sentence summary of this book would go like this: set in Puritan Boston, Massachusetts during the 17th century, The Scarlet Letter is about a woman named Hester Prynne, who is condemned to wear the letter "A" for the rest of her life after committing the sin of adultery.

Young Goodman Brown and Other Short Stories (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $2.00

Customer Review:

An incredible bargain and wonderful tales to boot, vice and virtue were never more complex or interwoven as in these Hawthorne tales. All of his stories speak to the irreversible errors of man, well not altogether irreversible. There is redemption and resolve but not for all his characters. If you... more info

And this solid and antique house contains many things - memories of those who lived... more info

I fell in love with Hawthorne's books and short stories when I was in junior high school. Twenty years later he continues to be on my list of top ten favorites. His novels strike me as incredibly modern and relevant to modern day life.
The Blithedale Romance has many elements in common with the... more info

The House of the Seven Gables (Norton Critical Edition)
from W. W. Norton
Price: $12.37

Customer Review:

I found this to be much slower and generally more boring than the Scarlet Letter and many of the stories in Twice Told Tales. However, it's still Hawthorne and worth reading.
