First Published in 1860, "The Marble Faun" is the last of the four major romances written by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Published shortly before the beginning of the American Civil War, it is a romantic and fantastical tale set in an imagined Italy and revolves around the love lives of the four main characters Miriam, a beautiful and mysterious painter Hilda, an innocent and morally upright copyist Kenyon, a gifted sculptor and Donatello, the distinguished Count of Monti Beni. Donatello is in love with Miriam, who is continuously pursued and threatened by a shadowy evil genius who wishes her harm. Miriams strange and perhaps unseemly past is contrasted to the pure and honorable Hilda, who attracts the attention of Kenyon, a rationale and talented artist smart enough to see past Miriams beauty to Hildas good qualities. Like many of Hawthornes works, central to "The Marble Faun" are the themes of guilt, the fall of mankind, and mans banishment from the Garden of Eden. Widely praised for its lovely descriptions and fascinating characters, it endures as one of the great writers most enjoyable and emotional works. This edition is printed on premium acidfree paper.
