Descrizione
This book represents the author’s vision and interest in symbolism using two American icons, Hester Prynne and Captain Ahab. Created by early American authors, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, the interest in Hester and Ahab has persisted over time in movies, literature and even Broadway plays. The author's passionate analysis of these two characters was sparked by the afflictions she experienced because of her mother’s death, her husband’s infidelity and her multiple knee surgeries.
