On a hot evening in June, with all the windows open, college student Arthur Bolton was looking through a stack of sermons in the library of the Theological Seminary of Pisa.

He was nominally the son of Burton and his second wife, but in fact he was the illegitimate son of his second wife and Montanelli.

At that time, Italy was being invaded by Austria, and the Young Italy Party's idea of ​​fighting for national independence attracted passionate young people. Arthur decided to dedicate himself to this cause.

At a secret gathering, Arthur met his teenage girlfriend Gemma and fell in love with her quietly.

A novel by Hawthorne, an American romantic writer in the 19th century. Published in 1850. "The Scarlet Letter" tells the story of a love tragedy that occurred during the colonial period in North America. The heroine Hester Prynne married the doctor Chillingworth, but there was no love between them. In loneliness, Prynne fell in love with the Reverend Dimmesdale and gave birth to their daughter Pearl. Bai Lan was punished in public and wore a red letter A symbolizing "adultery". However, Bai Lan was unyielding and refused to tell the child's father. The novel usually uses symbolic techniques, and the characters, plots and language are all quite subjective and imaginative.

Therefore, it is not only a representative work of American romantic novels, but also known as the pioneer of American psychoanalytic novels.
