O jovem Eustáquio conta histórias da Grécia antiga para a turma de crianças na casa de campo de Tanglewood, e os entretém com as viagens do herói Hércules, o domador de Pégaso e o combate contra a terrível Quimera, o encontro de Perseu com a icônica Medusa, entre outras aventuras. Baseando-se na mitologia grega, o autor Nathaniel Hawthorne reescreveu engenhosamente as histórias de personagens e jornadas lendárias, com dinamismo e criatividade.

Amerika im 17. Jahrhundert: Eine Frau, des Ehebruchs schuldig, steht am Schandpfahl und verrät nicht, wer der Vater ihrer Tochter ist. Die gestrenge puritanische Obrigkeit verurteilt sie, als Zeichen ihrer Schande lebenslang einen scharlachroten Buchstaben zu tragen. Die Folgen dieser übertriebenen Moralvorstellungen und die Mechanismen der gesellschaftlichen Ausgrenzung schildert Nathaniel Hawthorne mit psychologischer Raffinesse. Sein Roman ist einer der wichtigsten amerikanischen Klassiker des 19. Jahrhunderts, als sich das moderne Amerika mit dem Blick in seine Geschichte neu erfand. Mit seiner glasklaren Neuübersetzung gibt Jürgen Brôcan dem Roman eine Gestalt für heutige Leser; im Anhang erläutert er die historischen und literarischen Hintergründe.

Ein Klassiker der Weltlitteratur.Neuengland, 1642: Die junge Hester Prynne erreicht Neuengland ohne ihren Ehemann, erwartet dessen Ankunft aber täglich. Doch ihr Mann bleibt verschollen. Sie beginnt eine leidenschaftliche Affäre mit Reverend Dimmesdale, die nicht ohne Folgen bleibt. Als sie sich weigert zu verraten, wer der Vater des unehelichen Kindes ist, wird sie von der Gesellschaft ausgestoßen und mit dem Zeichen des Ehebruchs, dem scharlachroten "A", das sie auf ihrer Kleidung tragen muss, gebrandmarkt. Die Situation eskaliert, als plötzlich Hesters totgeglaubter Mann Roger im Dorf auftaucht. Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) war us-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Sein Roman "Der scharlachrote Buchstabe" zählt zu den bedeutendsten Werken der amerikanischen Literatur. Hawthorne selbst entstammte einer alten Puritanerfamilie, sein Ururgroßvater war einer der Richter bei den Hexenprozessen von Salem 1692. Hawthorne wird, wie Edgar Allan Poe, zur Schwarzen Romantik gezählt, seine Themen sind oftmals die dunklen Seiten der Seele, wie Sünde, Schuld, Strafe, Intoleranz und Entfremdung.

Like many of America's greatest cultural exports, the modern short story grew out of necessity rather than a luxury. At the turn of the 19th Century, the United States was a burgeoning country with pathfinders and adventure-seekers pushing their way into the west in search of new opportunities. With so much of the American population constantly on the move from one town to the next, the serialized novel was not a viable form of literature as it was across Europe.The new literary form soon grew popular; and more and more writers started writing in this wonderfully entertaining form. This collection comprises the best and the most popular short stories from the land.
