商品簡介
First published in 1836, The Minister's Black Veil is Hawthorne's unforgettable exploration of secrecy, shame, and collective conscience. When the mild-mannered Reverend Hooper dons a mysterious veil, the entire village is gripped by dread. Paranoia festers; relationships fracture; faith itself is tested. Hawthorne weaves gothic tension with razor-sharp moral insight, forcing readers to confront a chilling question: do we condemn others only to escape judgment ourselves?
This modern presentation preserves Hawthorne's rich symbolism while offering clear, contemporary language for today's audience. It invites new generations to wrestle with the story's enduring themes-personal guilt, social hypocrisy, and the terror of being truly seen.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
- A Timeless Moral Mystery - Experience the suspense of a community unraveling when one man refuses to remove his mask.
- The Psychology of Hidden Sin - Examine how secrets distort perception and breed fear.
- Modern, Accessible Prose - Hawthorne's original power, clarified for twenty-first-century readers without losing its gothic edge.
- Relevance to Today's "Masked" Society - Explore how the story resonates with contemporary debates on identity, privacy, and virtue signaling.
- Classroom-Ready Discussion Points - Ideal for literature circles, ethics courses, and book clubs seeking deeper dialogue.
Gripping, thought-provoking, and ominously familiar, The Minister's Black Veil proves that the scariest monsters are often the truths we refuse to face.
