Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Intermediate learners of Esperanto who wish to try reading original texts
- Readers interested in Hawthorne's short stories who want to reread them in another language
- Translation enthusiasts studying minority-language translation who need parallel texts for comparison
- Readers who enjoy short stories and want to finish a book in spare moments
Not a good fit for
- Readers with no knowledge of Esperanto who simply want a Chinese translation of Hawthorne
- Researchers needing detailed notes, introductions, or scholarly references
- Hawthorne fans expecting a novel or a complete collection
Reading tips
- Read one story first; when you meet unfamiliar words, guess from context and look them up together afterward.
- Read alongside Hawthorne's English originals and note how the translator handles long sentences and rhetoric.
- Read the three stories in three sittings, writing three to five sentences in Esperanto summarizing each after finishing it.

About the author
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) was an American novelist known for his engagement with Puritan tradition and moral allegory. He wrote about sin, guilt, confession, and social prejudice in a restrained style with vivid imagery, often using historical settings and legendary tales to reveal the subtleties of human nature. The collection here holds 98 of his works, including the frequently translated novel The Scarlet Letter, the short-story collection Twice-Told Tales, and children's books drawn from myth and legend such as A Wonder Book for Girls & Boys, Tanglewood Tales, The Gorgon's Head, and The Three Golden Apples, showing his dual interest in New England history and classical myth. His writing has had a lasting influence on American literature's treatment of conscience and identity. Publicly available details of his life are limited, so they are not elaborated here.
