A universal classic and a masterful exploration of humanity's unending struggle with sin, guilt and pride, The Scarlet Letter is a foundational work of American literature.

Set in an early New England colony, the novel shows the terrible impact a single, passionate act has on the lives of three members of the community; the defiant Hester Prynne; the fiery, tortured Reverend Dimmesdale; and the obsessed, vengeful Chillingworth.

The unforgettable Hester Prynne with her illegitimate baby, Pearl, clutched in her arms and forced to wear the letter A - the mark of an adulteress, embroidered in scarlet thread on her bosom as punishment for her sin, discovers strength in the face of ostracism and emerges as a heroine ahead of her time. Her powerful, bittersweet story is an American classic that continues to touch the hearts of modern readers.

It is beautiful, admirable, extraordinary; it has in the highest degree that merit which I have spoken of as the mark of Hawthorne's best things - an indefinable purity and lightness of conception.... One can often return to it; it supports familiarity and has the inexhaustible charm and mystery of great works of art.

- Henry James
