We use the word “classics” for those books that are treasured by those who have read and loved them; but they are treasured no less by those who have the luck to read them for the first time in the best conditions to enjoy them (…) A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say

Hawthorne, Nathaniel - Wakefield (ilustrado y bilingüe) - Language: Spanish, Short Stories - Format: ePub
«Recuerdo haber leído en algún viejo periódico o en alguna revista antigua una crónica que, relatada como si fuera real, contaba la historia de un hombre, de nombre Wakefield, que decidió marcharse a vivir lejos de su mujer una (More) temporada larga…». Así comienza este relato, que Borges señaló como el más grande y perfecto artilugio narrativo de la historia, antecesor directo de los relatos de Melville y Franz Kafka. Wakefield es un hombre sosegado, vanidoso, egoísta, propenso a crear misterios pueriles. Un día dice a su mujer que va a emprender un viaje de negocios y que regresará en dos días…
Hawthorne, Nathaniel - The Scarlet Letter - Language: English, Novel - Format: ePub
The Scarlet Letter, published in 1850, is an American novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and is generally considered to be his magnum opus. Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, it tells the story of Hester Prynne, who gives birth (More) after committing adultery, refuses to name the father, and struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. Throughout the novel, Hawthorne explores questions of grace, legalism, sin and guilt. The story begins in seventeenth-century Salem, Massachusetts, then a Puritan settlement. A young woman, Hester Prynne, is led from the town prison with her infant daughter, Pearl, in her arms and the scarlet letter “A” on her breast. The scarlet letter “A” represents the act of adultery that she has committed; it is to be a symbol of her sin for all to see. She will not reveal her lover’s identity, however, and the scarlet letter, along with her public shaming, is her punishment for her sin and her secrecy.

Dall'incipit del libro: "È un po' strano che, sebbene restio a parlar troppo di me e dei casi miei nel canto del fuoco ed agli amici personali, un impulso autobiografico m'abbia spinto ben due volte in vita mia a rivolgermi al (More) pubblico. La prima si dette tre o quattr'anni orsono, allorquando favorii ai miei lettori, imperdonabilmente e senza nessuna ragione al mondo che il lettore indulgente o l'importuno scrittore potessero immaginare, una descrizione del mio tenor di vita nella quiete profonda d'un Vecchio Presbiterio. Ed ora, poiché l'altra volta mi toccò l'immeritata ventura di trovare un paio d'ascoltatori, ecco che riagguanto il lettore per la giacca e discorro della mia triennale esperienza in una Dogana...".
