The Great Stone Face and Other Tales of the White Mountains – ebook
Nathaniel Hawthorne
In The Great Stone Face, Hawthorne compares different types of human activity. Most of them are aimed at finding success in society.

Even the poet, the creator of beautiful...Data dostępności:

A group of people is a powerful mixture of competing ambitions, and its idealism finds little satisfaction in agriculture. Instead of changing the world, Blithedale community members individually follow selfish paths that ultimately lead to tragedy. Hawthorne’s tale simultaneously mourns and saturates a rural idyll, not unlike the history of America in the 19th century as a whole.Data dostępności:
