About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. "The Scarlet Letter" is a classic work of historical fiction by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1850.
Set in Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony during the years 1642 to 1649, the novel tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an affair and then struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. As punishment, she must wear a scarlet letter 'A' (for Adultery). The book explores themes of sin, guilt and revenge of the father.
D. H. Lawrence said there could not be a more perfect work of the American imagination than "The Scarlet Letter". Henry James said of the novel, "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."
