Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The Scarlet Letter: The Manga Edition will be a hit with both manga readers and in the classroom. A four-page essay at the beginning ties the novel and manga together; the rest of the book is taken up with the manga novel itself. So, there should be strong carryover between those people who are manga readers and those teachers/students who want a new and unique way to read the plays. Our The Scarlet Letter manga is true to the original context of the play--we don't take Hester and Pearl and set them in a setting/time that's not relevant to Hawthorne's original and intended time/setting. You could say that ours is "true" to the novel.

Contraportada:

Adultery. A woman publicly shamed. A tormented minister ravaged with guilt. A vengeful physician bent on perverse justice. A tragic indiscretion becomes a symbol of repentance and dignity, secrecy and sin, redemption and triumph.

This fast-paced manga brings 17th-century puritanical Massachusetts to life in one of the most provocative, widely read stories in American literature.
