these stories betray that unique and finished art, that delightful

=The Scarlet Letter.= NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.
This is one of the most powerful and affecting stories ever conceived.
On its first appearance, in 1850, it immediately leaped high into public
favour, and attained the distinction of an unmistakable classic. The
tragedy of Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale is wrought out in the
midst of an austere Puritan community, which exacts the bitterest
expiation for sin.
