ABOUT THE BOOK:- This novel tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an affair and struggles to create a new life of and dignity. Set in 17th-century Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony, during the years 1642 to 1649, it explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt. It revolves around shaming and social stigmatizing, both Hester's public humiliation and Dimmesdale's private shame and fear of exposure. Notably, their liaison is never spoken of, so the circumstances that lead to Hester's pregnancy, and how their affair was kept secret never become part of the plot. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer. Much of his writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral metaphors with an anti-Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic Movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His important novels include Fanshawe, The New Adam and Eve, The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables, The Blithedale Romance, and The Marble Faun: Or, The Romance of Monte Beni.

Harlequin romance where heroine encounters masterful Greek on Corfu Book
Between 1788 and 1820, under the reckless influence of the fat, promiscuous Prince Regent, the English aristocracy set a standard of elegance and vulgarity that has not been surpassed. Venetia Murray chronicles the daily life of that glittering circle of rakes and dandies, duchesses and courtesans, pugilists and patrons, whose scandalous conduct will entertain readers of social history and Regency romances alike, plus the new generation of Jane Austen addicts. Against a backdrop of artistic triumphs and industrial progress, working-class riots and the twenty-year war with France, Venetia Murray's sparking narrative is lavishly illustrated through rare contemporary cartoons, prints, diaries, and caricatures--some newly discovered and never before reproduced. "An Elegant Madness" is a book of airy delights and surprising depths that reveals a fabled age in all of its varied splendor. xvii, 316 p.28 b/w plates bibliography, index Bookplate on ffep else Near Fine Book
ril. Il "Breve Portus Kallaretani", emanato dal Comune di Pisa per regolamentare le attività del porto di Cagliari, è uno dei più antichi e importanti statuti portuali del Mediterraneo. L'unico testimone medievale che lo tramanda - il manoscritto Roncioni 322, conservato presso l'Archivio di Stato di Pisa - offre una redazione del testo scritta in volgare pisano e datata al 1318, che rappresenta probabilmente il risultato della progressiva stratificazione di disposizioni normative succedutesi nel tempo. Il Breve si compone di 68 capitoli, nei quali vengono definiti i compiti dei consoli, dei mercanti, dei sensali e degli operatori che gravitavano intorno allo scalo cagliaritano all'inizio del Trecento. Lo stesso manoscritto accoglie poi altre disposizioni emanate tra il 1319 e il 1321, nonché alcuni capitoli provenienti dallo statuto cittadino, il Breve dei Castellani di Cagliari. Si tratta dunque di un corpus di testi normativi che costituisce una fonte preziosa tanto per la ricostruzione della storia della Sardegna medievale - e in particolare di quella del porto della città di Cagliari - quanto per la conoscenza degli impieghi del volgare pisano nell'isola. La nuova edizione critica che qui si propone è corredata di un approfondito studio linguistico e di un nutrito glossario, utile a comprendere le peculiarità del lessico del commercio e della marineria in uso nel vivace ambiente di uno scalo portuale medievale.
Paris, La Nouvelle Société d'Edition, 1930, in-16, cartone decorato coevo, tassello in pelle con titolo oro, pp. 254, (2). Asportato il margino esterno a 2 pagine, con perdita di poche lettere. Inglese naturalizzato americano, Gribbon viaggiò nell'India britannica, in Africa e medio Oriente; iniziò a pubblicare con lo pseudonimo Walter Galt per riviste specializzate, diventando presto popolarissimo; l'interesse per le religioni e la filosofia orientale lo fece avvicinare alla Teosofia (ebbe parte attiva nel movimento teosofico americano) da cui questo romanzo è ispirato. Apparso a puntate su "Adventure" nel 1924 col titolo "Om: The Secret of Ahbor Valley", poi in volume nello stesso anno presso Bobbs-Merrill; l'edizione inglese è del 1925; è il primo d'una trilogia: seguono: "The Devil's Guard"(Ramsden) e "Red Flame of Edinpura".
