Translated by Sellén Francisco

"La letra escarlata" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a historical novel published in 1850. Set in Puritan Massachusetts during the 1640s, it follows Hester Prynne, who bears a child outside marriage and must wear a scarlet letter "A" as punishment for adultery. As Hester struggles to rebuild her life with dignity, her secret lover suffers in silence while her vengeful husband seeks to unmask him. This tale explores themes of sin, guilt, and redemption in early America's strict religious society.
