«La letra escarlata» is the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne published by Bruguera in paperback (249 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in seventeenth-century Puritan Boston, where Hester Prynne, condemned for adultery, must wear a scarlet letter «A» sewn onto her clothes as public punishment. The story serves Hawthorne to portray an intolerant and moralistic society, and to explore guilt, sin, repentance and hypocrisy.
The novel was originally published in 1850; this edition presents the translation by Fernando Baeza Marcos and belongs to the Libro Amigo collection, no. 1102.
Recommended for readers of nineteenth-century classics looking for a story about guilt, social judgment and hypocrisy in Puritan Boston.
