![]() You know, just a couple of episodes of a modern soap opera playing in Puritanical America. Repercussions happen many years later, culminating in a melodramatic ending. Husband finds out about his wife’s indiscretion (I mean, how could you not when she’s clearly holding a child in her arms that was most definitely not conceived by the couple?), and swears vengeance on the homewrecking mystery man. ![]() Woman cheats on husband and gets branded by her no-nonsense but hypocritical community. Faithfully adapted by Crystal Chan from the original novel, this new edition features stunning artwork by SunNeko Lee (Manga Classics: Les Miserables) which will give old and new readers alike a fresh insight into the Nathaniel Hawthorne’s tragic saga of Puritan America. MANGA CLASSICS: THE SCARLET LETTER Adapted by Stacy King, Illustrated by SunNeko LeeĪ powerful tale of forbidden love, shame, and revenge comes to life in Manga Classics: The Scarlet Letter. What I am trying to say is, I know it’s a prominent literary work, but if manga and the movies are alternate ways of reading The Scarlet Letter, then my goodness, I will take it however I will. Gods, now that was a long read (though admittedly, enjoyable). It’s probably why when this was one of the reading options in school, I never got to it and chose to read larger paperbacks, like The Fountainhead. ![]() ![]() There was something about reading The Scarlet Letter that always puts me to sleep. ![]()
