About this listen

“The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a masterful tale of morality, sin, and courage. Set in Puritan New England, the story revolves around Hester Prynne, a young woman who bears a child out of wedlock. The scarlet letter “A” embroidered on her gown serves as her punishment for adultery. But Hester is more than just a sinner — she possesses unyielding character and compassion. Her love for the enigmatic minister, Arthur Dimmesdale, is entwined with their shared guilt.

Intrigue, passion, and secrecy weave together in this narrative, drawing readers into a world of contradictions where appearances and reality collide. Will Hester dare to reveal her lover’s identity? Will the scarlet letter on her gown become a symbol of shame or courage? Find the answers in this extraordinary novel that continues to captivate listeners worldwide.
