The Great Stone Face

Viac o knihe

Exploring the White Hills of New Hampshire, the collection features tales that reflect Nathaniel Hawthorne's fascination with nature and its uncanny connections to humanity. While he alludes to a visit in his writings, no direct accounts exist. A notable excerpt from 1840 hints at themes in "The Great Stone Face," discussing a mountain's resemblance to a human face and the prophetic nature of such phenomena, suggesting a deeper interplay between nature and human destiny.
