Publisher's Synopsis
The Marble Faun or The Romance of Monte Beni V1 is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It follows the story of four main characters - Miriam, Hilda, Kenyon, and Donatello - as they explore the city of Rome and its surrounding countryside. The book is a romantic tale that explores themes of guilt, sin, and redemption, as well as the nature of art and creativity. The title of the book is derived from a marble sculpture of a faun that plays a significant role in the story. The novel was originally published in 1860 and is considered one of Hawthorne's most important works. It is a classic of American literature and has been widely studied and analyzed by scholars and critics.The figure of their friend was now discernible by her own torchlight, approaching out of one of the cavernous passages. Miriam came forward, but not with the eagerness and tremulous joy of a fearful girl, just rescued from a labyrinth of gloomy mystery. She made no immediate response to their inquiries and tumultuous congratulations; and, as they afterwards remembered, there was something absorbed, thoughtful, and self-concentrated in her deportment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
