商品簡介
In Feathertop: A Moralized Legend, Nathaniel Hawthorne spins a darkly whimsical story about vanity, deception, and the peril of mistaking shine for substance. Mother Rigby, a solitary witch, animates a scarecrow with magic and sends him into Boston society as "Sir Feathertop." With a pipe clamped between his teeth and a plume on his hat, Feathertop charms merchants, maidens, and magistrates alike-until a looking-glass forces him to confront the hollow truth of his existence.
This modern adaptation refreshes Hawthorne's rich language while preserving the story's wry humor and moral bite. Part fairy tale, part satire, and part gothic fantasy, Feathertop asks timeless questions: How easily do we fall for appearances? And what happens when illusion meets the mirror?
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
- A Classic American Fable Revived - Hawthorne's sharp critique of vanity and social pretension, now in clear, contemporary prose.
- Witchcraft and Whimsy - A playful yet haunting mix of folklore, magic, and dark comedy.
- A Parable for Every Age - Explore themes of identity, self-deception, and moral reckoning that resonate today.
- Atmospheric Illustrations of Colonial Boston - Vivid scenes of market squares, moonlit rooftops, and secret witch's huts.
Return to a tale where fashion is flimsy, pride is perilous, and redemption may come only when the smoke clears.
