Most of Hawthorne's works are based on the history of New England for more than 200 years. Among them are the heroic spirit of the colonial people against the brutal rule of the mother country, the tragic fact that the Puritans persecuted heretics and suppressed Quakers under the pretext of exorcism, the customs and customs of ordinary people's daily lives, and the shameless actions of the upper class.
Overall, there are both historical volumes and folklore sketches. "The Collected Novels of Hawthorne" translated by Hu Yunhuan focuses on Hawthorne's novels "Fan Xiao", "Retold Stories", "The Scarlet Letter", "Legends of Fortune", "The House with the Seven Gables", "Moss in the Ancient House", "Jade Figures", "The Snowman and Other Retold Stories", allowing readers to have an overall understanding and grasp of Hawthorne's novels.
Reader comments
Hey, I recently read "The Complete Novels of Hawthorne" and it was really great! The author Hawthorne uses New England as the background to describe various social phenomena and characters. His works are both like historical scrolls and folklore sketches, which gave me a deeper understanding of that era. Moreover, the translator Hu Yunhuan is also very good, and the writing is fluent, making me completely immersed in the story. This reminds me of some other works of the same type, such as "Uncle Tom's Cabin", which all reflect social reality. I strongly recommend that you also read this book, you will definitely gain something!
