The Scarlet Letter (selected Translations of Famous Works)

About This Novel
It is said to be based on life in New England during the colonial period, with the plot of "adultery" regarded as an unpardonable crime by the harsh Puritanism at that time as the core, and the spiritual world of the four characters related to this "crime" is depicted in detail. Hester Prynne, who wears a bright red letter A (Adultcry - the initials of the word "adultery") on his chest, has been mentally rehabilitated after a long period of atonement. The shameful letter has gradually become a respected symbol. Pastor Dimmesdale has been tortured by his faith and conscience for a long time, and finally transformed from a fanatical religious activist into a flesh-and-blood man who dares to take responsibility. Hester's husband, Chillingworth, was originally a brilliant scholar but he completely lost his humanity driven by revenge. The little Bo'er born from "adultery" looks like a wild and untamed pagan elf.
