Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the annotated edition including both volumes of the original book, a rare biographical essay on the author, as well as an essay by Edgar Allan Poe on Hawthorne's tale-writing. In 1846 the "Mosses from an Old Manse" was published in New York in two volumes, which contain, on the whole, his best work in short stories, and are prefaced by one of his most delightful essays, "The Old Manse." In some of them, it may be, the allegory is too apparent, but in general they are very deep and searching studies of the heart and conscience. Among the best are " Young Goodman Brown," " Roger Malvin's Burial," " Rappaccini's' Daughter," which is usually placed highest, and " Drowne's Wooden Image." " The Birthmark " and " The Artist of the Beautiful" also rank high in the estimation of critics. "The Celestial Railroad " is a clever satire on modern religion; "The Intelligence Ofiice," "The Procession of Life," and "Earth's Holocaust" are conceits with a burden of symbolic meaning. "The Old Apple-Dealer " is a study of a character with the least possible amount of coloring. " P.'s Correspondence" is mainly interesting, perhaps, for the curious speculation, under the guise of a lunatic's vagaries, on what age might have made of those early poets of the century who died young or in middle life, - especially of what its sobering and conservative tendencies would have done for Byron, Burns, Shelley, and Keats. " The Hall of Fantasy," " A Select Party," and " A Virtuoso's Collection" are ingeniously executed fancies. "Mrs. Bullfrog" is a light, humorous sketch, and " Fire Worship" and " Buds and Bird Voices" are delightful essays.

Book excerpt: This is an annotated version of the book1. contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2. This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsIn the latter part of the last century there lived a man of science, aneminent proficient in every branch of natural philosophy, who not longbefore our story opens had made experience of a spiritual affinity moreattractive than any chemical one. He had left his laboratory to thecare of an assistant, cleared his fine countenance from the furnacesmoke, washed the stain of acids from his fingers, and persuaded abeautiful woman to become his wife. In those days when thecomparatively recent discovery of electricity and other kindredmysteries of Nature seemed to open paths into the region of miracle, itwas not unusual for the love of science to rival the love of woman inits depth and absorbing energy. The higher intellect, the imagination,the spirit, and even the heart might all find their congenial alimentin pursuits which, as some of their ardent votaries believed, wouldascend from one step of powerful intelligence to another, until thephilosopher should lay his hand on the secret of creative force andperhaps make new worlds for himself. We know not whether Aylmerpossessed this degree of faith in man's ultimate control over Nature.He had devoted himself, however, too unreservedly to scientific studiesever to be weaned from them by any second passion. His love for hisyoung wife might prove the stronger of the two; but it could only be byintertwining itself with his love of science, and uniting the strengthof the latter to his own.Such a union accordingly took place, and was attended with trulyremarkable consequences and a deeply impressive moral. One day, verysoon after their marriage, Aylmer sat gazing at his wife with a troublein his countenance that grew stronger until he spoke."Georgiana," said he, "has it never occurred to you that the mark uponyour cheek might be removed?""No, indeed," said she, smiling; but perceiving the seriousness of hismanner, she blushed deeply. "To tell you the truth it has been so oftencalled a charm that I was simple enough to imagine it might be so.""Ah, upon another face perhaps it might," replied her husband; "butnever on yours. No, dearest Georgiana, you came so nearly perfect fromthe hand of Nature that this slightest possible defect, which wehesitate whether to term a defect or a beauty, shocks me, as being thevisible mark of earthly imperfection.""Shocks you, my husband!" cried Georgiana, deeply hurt; at firstreddening with momentary anger, but then bursting into tears. "Then whydid you take me from my mother's side? You cannot love what shocks you!"To explain this conversation it must be mentioned that in the centre ofGeorgiana's left cheek there was a singular mark, deeply interwoven, asit were, with the texture and substance of her face. In the usual stateof her complexion--a healthy though delicate bloom--the mark wore atint of deeper crimson, which imperfectly defined its shape amid thesurrounding rosiness. When she blushed it gradually became moreindistinct, and finally vanished amid the triumphant rush of blood thatbathed the whole cheek with its brilliant glow. But if any shiftingmotion caused her to turn pale there was the mark again, a crimsonstain upon the snow, in what Aylmer sometimes deemed an almost fearfuldistinctness. Its shape bore not a little similarity to the human hand,though of the smallest pygmy size. Georgiana's lovers were wont to saythat some fairy at her birth hour had laid her tiny hand upon theinfant's cheek, and left this impress there in token of the magicendowments that were to give her such sway over all hearts. Many adesperate swain would have risked life for the privilege of pressing

Book excerpt: Nathaniel Hawthorne was a celebrated nineteenth century American literary figure who penned numerous critically acclaimed novels and short stories. Hawthorne's writings were mostly Puritanical moral allegories set in New England. Element of Dark Romanticism, theme of inherent evil, moral dilemma and psychological complexity of human mind are explored in his works consistently. His notable works include Twice-Told Tales, The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. Born on July 4, 1804, in Salem, Massachusetts, Hawthorne was a descendant of a long line of Puritan ancestors. He was related to an unrepentant presiding magistrate involved in Salem witch trials, John Hathorne. So as not to identify himself with the scandalous Hathorne family, Hawthorne added a 'w' in his name in his youth. His father was a ship captain who died of yellow fever at sea when he was four years old. The sudden demise of his father made his mother very protective of him which engendered an isolated atmosphere for him. This period in his childhood rendered him shy and an avid reader which shaped his personality in such a way that led him to choose a career in writing.
