Nathaniel Hawthorne,Newton Arvin: Hawthorne's Short Stories

Hawthorne's Short Stories


Description

Twenty-four of the best short stories by one of the early masters of the form, in the definitive collection edited by acclaimed scholar Newton Arvin. Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the greatest American writers of the nineteenth century, and some of his most powerful work was in the form of fable-like tales that make rich use of allegory and symbolism. The dark beauty and moral force of his imagination are evident in such enduring masterpieces as `Young Goodman Brown,` in which a young man who believes he has witnessed a satanic initiation can never see his pious neighbors the same way again; `Rappaccini's Daughter,` about a lovely young girl who has been raised in isolation among dangerous poisons; and `The Birthmark,` in which a scientist obsessed with perfection destroys the flaw that makes his otherwise flawless wife both beautiful and human.

"A Jaguar's Kiss " Tom Peters, one of the most influential business thinkers of all time, described the first edition of "Lovemarks: the future beyond brands" as "brilliant." He also announced it as the "Best Business Book" published in the first five years of this century. Now translated into fourteen languages, with more than 150,000 copies in print, "Lovemarks" is back in a revised edition featuring a new chapter on the peculiarly human experience of shopping. A DRAGON KING'S GRUESOME CORONATION ""It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to be born."" First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear--of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse. As civilization swiftly crumbles into a primal landscape of predators and prey, two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man haunted by what he's done in the line of duty. Six-year-old orphan Amy Harper Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific Hawthorne's Short Stories free pdf project that has triggered apocalypse. He is determined to protect her from the horror set loose by her captors. But for Amy, escaping the bloody fallout is only the beginning of a much longer odyssey--spanning miles and decades--towards the time and place where she must finish what should never have begun. With The Passage, award-winning author Justin Cronin has written both a relentlessly suspenseful adventure and an epic chronicle of human endurance in the face of unprecedented catastrophe and unimaginable danger. Its inventive storytelling, masterful prose, and depth of human insight mark it as a crucial and transcendent work of modern fiction.
