Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804–1864) famous novel, The Scarlet Letter, is deservedly considered one of the cornerstones of American literature. It addresses themes of sin, intolerance, freedom of spirit and true love. The text of the novel with the introductory essay “Customs” is published in translations by E. L. Linetskaya and N. L. Emelyannikova. The publication includes the writer’s diary entries translated by T. N. Chernysheva, which are a separate story. The book is decorated with color drawings by the talented English artist Hugh Thomson, who gained fame at the beginning of the XNUMXth century. fame as a classic of book illustration. Nathaniel Hawthorne became one of the first major American wordsmiths recognized outside the United States. His novel The Scarlet Letter, published in 1850, received wide acclaim in Europe. It became the writer's most famous work. “The Scarlet Letter” could be considered a historical novel, because the action in it takes place in the XNUMXth century during the colonization of the shores of Massachusetts Bay and the founding of Boston. However, unlike the novels of F. Cooper, Hawthorne did not focus in his work on the reconstruction of historical events or on a detailed description of the material realities of the past. He tried to describe the very spirit of those times, in which the entire civilization of the New World was involved. More and more drawn into the whirlpool of mercantilism, the writer’s contemporaries sought to understand the origins and causes of their current state. Hawthorne's novel, built on the collision of the rigid postulates of Puritan dogma with the free expression of feelings, partly provided answers to these questions. That's why it became a bestseller in the USA. The main postulate of the novel was the writer’s call to always tell only the truth. In the atmosphere of lies, demagoguery and verbiage that reigned in American political and social life in the mid-XNUMXth century, this call from Hawthorne sounded like an alarm bell. It is still relevant today. This edition is supplemented by little-known diary entries of the writer, which he wrote shortly before the publication of The Scarlet Letter. This short story became a completely new word in fiction for its time. Before Hawthorne, no writer had written about the life of a father left alone for a long time with a small child. The novel in this edition is decorated with drawings by the wonderful English artist Hugh Thomson. He was born in 1860 in Northern Ireland. His drawings were noticed by employees of the printing house where Hugh began working. Its owner, Marcus Ward, supported the young man, and illustrator John Vinnicombe began giving Thomson lessons in craftsmanship. Hugh did not receive a systematic art education, but this did not prevent him from gaining fame as a classic of book illustration during his lifetime. Drawing was his life, and he devoted all his time to what he loved. Thomson managed to illustrate hundreds of books, including novels by Dickens, Thackeray, Austen, and plays by Shakespeare. The audience was delighted with how accurately in his drawings he conveyed the details of interiors, landscapes, clothes of the characters and their characters.
