Title : The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne - book

Summary :

The Scarlet Letter is the branding iron that designates the adulterous woman in America with its obsessive puritanism of the colonial era. Three characters: Hester, who lives with admirable dignity her fault and her solitude. Arthur Dimmesdale, the young ferryman whose mystical impulses arouse the enthusiasm of the faithful in Boston but who, bewitched by Hester, is unable to dominate or live his sensuality. Chillingworth, the husband, who for years silently torments the pastor to the point of madness and death. The first of the great American novels, the key to a national sensibility always torn between the temptation of scandal and the demon of guilt.
