Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. A simple, pleasant set of four stories. Hawthorne's style is definitely out of fashion now, verbose and rather sentimental, but although these now seem quite dated, I found they worked well for these stories. They're simple, almost humble stories, all based loosely on some real thing or event. I don't think I'd want to read a lot of his work, as it feels simplistic and the style now grates a bit, but these were fine. ( ) The Ambitious Guest - (Kinda cool irony, but not much of a story. Guy wants to be something before he dies and then he dies.) The Great Carbuncle - (Too obviously moralistic. The greedy people pay, the good people leave it behind.) The Great Stone Face - (Interesting and kind of cool. One day a great man will come and he will have the face of the mountain.) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML: This collection of tales is an engaging compendium of Hawthorne's short stories, including many set in and around the writer's native New England. The title story is a charming fable-like tale that takes as its focus a long-famous geological feature in the New Hampshire mountains (the face-like granite protrusion collapsed in 2003). .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
