Including a biographical introduction of Nathaniel Hawthorne. *** A haunting tale of innocence, sin, and transformation in the Eternal City. Set against the luminous backdrop of Rome-with its ancient ruins, shadowed catacombs, and magnificent art-The Marble Faun weaves a mesmerizing story of four expatriate artists whose lives become entangled in a web of passion, guilt, and moral complexity. When the faun-like Donatello, an Italian count of childlike innocence, commits a violent act to protect the woman he loves, the consequences reverberate through the lives of all who witness it. Miriam, the enigmatic artist haunted by a dark past; Hilda, the pure-hearted copyist devoted to her ideals; and Kenyon, the thoughtful sculptor caught between them-each must confront fundamental questions about the nature of sin, the possibility of redemption, and the price of moral awakening. Hawthorne's final completed novel is a profound meditation on the fall from innocence and the ambiguous blessings it may bring. Rich with symbolism drawn from Italian art and landscape, The Marble Faun explores whether sin itself might be a necessary passage to deeper wisdom and fuller humanity-a theme as provocative today as it was controversial in 1860. A masterwork of psychological insight and atmospheric beauty, revealing Hawthorne at the height of his powers as America's great anatomist of the human conscience. *** The series Large Print Reader's Choice features classic books with a font size of at least 16 points.
