Nathaniel Hawthorne Mramorový faun CZVrcholné dílo velikána americké literatury 19. století. V magickém příběhu čtyř přátel, Američanů Kenyona a Hildy a Evropanů Miriam a Donatella, rozehrává autor mistrnou a hravou, v dnešní době překvapivě aktuální polemiku mezi americkou a evropskou mentalitou, etickým a estetickým ustrojením duše a v neposlední řadě mezi různým pojetím morálky - protestantským odsouzením a katolickým odpuštěním.

Nathaniel Hawthorne Šarlátové písmenoMladá žena, jej zbabelý milenec a starnúci pomstychtivý manžel - to sú hlavné postavy tejto drámy o konflikte medzi láskou a konvenciami v puritánskej Amerike. Majstrovsky spracované dielo sa stalo námetom na rovnomenný film v hlavnej úlohe s Demi Moore. Film však nemôže v celej šírke zachytiť atmosféru diela, takže knihu sa oplatí prečítať aj tým, ktorí film videli.
