Synopsis
Part fairy tale, part Gothic horror story, Rappaccini&;s Daughter is an inspired tale of creation and control. It is published here with two additional short stories by Hawthorne: Young Goodman Brown and A Select Party. Giovanni Guasconti, a student at the University of Padua, is enchanted to discover a nearby garden of the most exquisite beauty. In it abides a young woman, perhaps the most beautiful Giovanni has ever seen. Yet as he looks out from an upstairs window, he soon learns that the garden&;and the matchless Beatrice&;are not the work of Mother Nature, but rather the result of a monstrous abomination of creativity. An ingenious biblical parody, the tale&;s fantastical quality is brilliantly echoed in the two accompanying short stories. Read together, they display all Hawthorne&;s gifts as a storyteller. Novelist, essayist, and moralist, Nathaniel Hawthorne is one of America&;s greatest writers, best known for his remarkable novel The Scarlet Letter.

From the Back Cover
Was this garden, then, the Eden of the present world? And this man, with such a perception of harm in what his own hands caused to grow was he the Adam?
