Nathaniel Hawthorne, born on July 4, 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts was an American short story writer and romance novelist. He is best known for his short stories and two widely read novels：The Scarlet Letter and The House of Seven Gables. Along with Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe much of Hawthorne's work belongs to the subgenre of Dark Romanticism. Young Hawthorne was a contemporary of fellow transcendentalists Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Louisa May Alcott. Hawthorne was part of this prominent circle of Massachusetts writers and philosophers. The transcendentalists believed in the “inherent goodness of both people and nature.” Hawthorne's style “is like purity itself.” Hawthorne's highest regarded short stories include My Kinsman, Major Molineaux , Young Goodman Brown, Feathertop, and The Minister's Black Veil . For the record, Hawthorne died in his sleep in 1864 during a tour of the White Mountains in Plymouth, New Hampshire. 霍桑的作品想象丰富、结构严谨。他除了进行心理分析与描写外，还运用了象征主义手法。他的构思精巧的意象，增添了作品的浪漫色彩，加深了寓意。代表作有《牧师的黑面纱》、《年轻的布朗先生》、《拉帕西尼的女儿》等。长篇代表作品《红字》已成为世界文学的经典之一，是美国文学发展史上第一部象征主义小说。 本书精选霍桑46篇经典短篇小说汇集成册，以英文原版形式出版，同时提供配套英文朗读供读者免费下载（下载地址见图书封底），边听边读，更好地提升英文阅读水平。

霍桑出生于新英格兰一名门望族。他家世代都是虔诚的加尔文教（即清教或新教）信徒，其两代先祖曾是马萨诸塞殖民地政教合一的权力机构中的要人，参与过1692年萨莱姆驱巫案及其后迫害教友派的活动。霍桑由此形成的世界观是复杂矛盾的；他的作品多以新英格兰为背景，贯穿他全部作品的创作思想便是对人类灵魂中隐匿的“恶”的挖掘和对构成真与美的基础的“善”的向往。

John Griffith “Jack” London (1876–1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories “To Build a Fire”, “An Odyssey of the North”, and “Love of Life” . He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as “The Pearls of Parlay ” and “The Heathen ”, and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf . Often troubled by physical ailments, during his thirties London developed kidney disease of unknown origin.
