The Marble Faun(VI) 玉石人像（英文版） (English Edition)

The Marble Faun is Hawthorne's most unusual romance, and possibly one of the strangest major works of American fiction.In the spring of 1858, Hawthorne was inspired to write his romance when he saw the Faun of Praxiteles in a Roman sculpture gallery. It is the story of four main characters: Miriam, a beautiful painter; Hilda, an innocent copyist; Kenyon, a sculptor; and Donatello, the Count of Monti Beni. Writing on the eve of the American Civil War, Hawthorne set his story in a fantastical Italy. "The Marble Faun" is an unusual romance and one of the great writer's classic works.The romance mixes elements of a fable, pastoral, gothic novel, and travel guide. The climax comes less than halfway through the story, and Hawthorne intentionally fails to answer many of the reader's questions about the characters and the plot.
