Story
Written in the winter of 1849, The Scarlet Letter unfolds the story of Hester Prynne, a young woman branded as an adulteress in the harsh Puritan world of 17th-century New England. As Hester calls on her inner strength to transcend her shame, the scarlet letter ceases to be a stigma and finally becomes Hester's symbol of self-affirmation. This dramatic reading heightens the sense of lyric poetry that permeates every line of Nathaniel Hawthorne's great novel.

With Bonaparte held to a stalemate in Europe, the race to empire is now resumed.

The two colonial masters of India and the East Indies face each other in mortal striving for the region—there can be only one victor to hold all the spoils.
