'주홍 글씨(The Scarlet Letter)'는 너대니얼 호손의 대표적인 걸작으로, 17세기 청교도 사회를 배경으로 한 인간의 죄와 구원, 용서와 희생을 심도 있게 다룬 고전 소설입니다. 주인공 헤스터 프린은 부도덕하다고 여겨진 행위로 인해 'A'라는 주홍색 글씨를 가슴에 달고 살아가야 하며, 이를 통해 사회적 낙인, 개인의 양심, 사랑과 용기에 대해 질문을 던집니다. 이번 영문판에는 아름다운 삽화가 함께 수록되어 읽는 재미를 더해줍니다. 원문으로 읽으면 작가 특유의 세련된 문체와 시대적 분위기를 더욱 생생하게 느낄 수 있고, 영어 어휘력 및 독해 능력 향상에도 큰 도움이 됩니다.

책 속으로

Of bearded men, in sad-colored garments, and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with women, some wearing hoods and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron spikes.
The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison. In accordance with this rule, it may safely be assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built the first prison-house somewhere in the vicinity of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson’s lot, and round about his grave, which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchres in the old churchyard of King’s Chapel. Certain it is, that, some fifteen or twenty years after the settlement of the town, the wooden jail was already marked with weather-stains and other indications of age, which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front. The rust on the ponderous iron-work of its oaken door looked more antique than anything else in the New World. Like all that pertains to crime, it seemed never to have known a youthful era. Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pigweed, apple-peru, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilized society, a prison. But on one side of the portal, and rooted almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with its delicate gems, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, in token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.

너대니얼 호손(Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1804-1864)은 미국의 대표적인 소설가이자 단편 작가입니다. 청교도적 가치관과 인간 본성의 어두운 면을 깊이 탐구한 작품들로 이름을 알렸으며, 그의 소설과 단편들은 도덕적 아이러니와 심리적 통찰이 돋보입니다. 호손은 '주홍 글씨', '일곱 박공의 집', '대리석 파운틴' 등으로 세계 문학사에 큰 영향을 끼쳤으며, 오늘날에도 미국 문학의 고전으로 평가받고 있습니다.
