Nathaniel Hawthorne Libri

E' un libro sul matrimonio, sulla morale familiare, sulla violazione delle convenzioni sociali, sulla necessità del sacrificio di chi le viola. L'ineluttabilità del finale tragico rinvia all'idea goethiana che dietro alle passioni degli uomini vi siano solo forze insondabili e beffarde che sfuggono alle ragioni della società e della storia. Le affinità elettive sono una storia tragica: alla tragedia della passione, alla natura trionfante si può opporre solo l'etica della rinuncia laica, la pace inviolabile del tempo e della morte nella cappella gotica dei due amanti.

«Penso che qualcuno leggerà le mie parole. Resta da chiedersi se ci crederà o no. Quasi certamente no, ma non ha importanza. Non mi interessa essere creduto, ma liberarmi. E ho scoperto che la scrittura può essere una forma di liberazione.» Gary, un uomo molto anziano, avverte il suo corpo sgretolarsi e una nebbia avvolgere i suoi ricordi. Tuttavia, un episodio del suo passato brilla nella memoria: un pomeriggio d'estate, a nove anni, si addentrò nel bosco per pescare e incontrò un uomo vestito di nero, un sconosciuto dagli occhi di fuoco. Il volto spaventoso e le parole terribili di quell'uomo lo hanno tormentato per tutta la vita, come un incubo ricorrente. Ora, avvertendo la fine vicina, sente l'urgenza di mettere per iscritto ogni dettaglio, sperando che la scrittura lo liberi da quell'ossessione e esorcizzi la paura di un nuovo incontro. Questo racconto, uno dei più classici di Stephen King, è presentato in un'edizione speciale con illustrazioni di Ana Juan e include anche «Il giovane signor Brown», il racconto di Nathaniel Hawthorne preferito da King, in omaggio a questo maestro della letteratura americana.

Il fauno di marmo è l'ultima opera di Hawthorne, ispirata al viaggio in Italia e al suo soggiorno romano. E' il romanzo dell'incontro con il mistero, con le ossessioni, le colpe, i fantasmi del passato; una vera e propria ricerca conoscitiva sulla vita, sul rapporto tra passato e presente, arte ed esperienza, realtà e mito.

Copertina alternativa qui. La giovane Ester Prynne, condannata per adulterio nella puritana Boston, sarà costretta a portare per sempre sul seno una fiammeggiante, scarlatta, lettera A. La A di adulterio, naturalmente. Ma anche di Arte, di America: La lettera scarlatta, libro che rese celebre il nome di Nathaniel Hawthorne, è un mirabile esempio di fusione tra la perfezione della trama, la caratterizzazione dei protagonisti e la ricchezza dello stile. Hawthorne fa di Ester un personaggio esemplare: condanna la terribile rigidità puritana, riconosce la violenza di cui la società si rende colpevole, ma non assolve la protagonista, anche se le dona tutta la sua compassione, la sua pietà. Celebre la riduzione cinematografica del 1995, interpretata da Demi Moore, Gary Oldman e Robert Duvall.

Questo volume ha lo scopo di raccogliere storie dalle tinte gotiche e fosche che spaziano dalla fantasticheria all’allegoria morale.Mettendo in scena personaggi dalla psicologia complessa e spesso inquietanti, Hawthorne si misura con tematiche universali quali la colpa, il male, il peccato e la dannazione.
