My favorite of Hawthorne's short stories. ..We learn from this that we often fail to appreciate what is right amongst us. Our goals, beliefs, habits, virtues, make or break us, and we grow and develop because of what we believe in.
Çiçek gibi 5 öykü. Mr.Wakefield'ın öyküsünden bir roman çıkardı, çok ilginç bir konusu vardı. Büyük Taş Yüz, hep beklenen o insanın aslında içimizde oluşunu anlatıyordu bence. Ateşe Verilen Dünya öyküsü de çok iyiydi. Mutlu bitirdim kitabı, teşekkürler Hawthorne ve belki daha büyük teşekkürler Bo...more
First published in John Greenleaf Whittier’s abolitionist newspaper The National Era (Jan. 24, 1850), and later included in Hawthorne’s collection The Snow Image, and Other Twice-Told Tales (1852), “The Great Stone Face” is a cautionary parable, warning people not to hunger for greatness in the s...more

30 kitaptan oluşan Jorge Luis Borges'in Babil Kitaplığı serisinde Büyük Taş Yüz okuduğum 11. kitaptı ve şimdiye kadar okuduklarım arasında Oscar Wilde'ın Lord Arthur Savile'in Suçu isimli kitabıyla birlikte en sevdiğim iki kitaptan biri oldu. Kitaptaki 5 öykünün hepsini sevdim ama özellikle Ateşe...more
İlk öykü olan Wakefield dışında keyif almadım, bu kitaptan.
1800'lerin öykü anlayışına uzağım galiba. Poe hariç :)
As a boy, Ernest had wondered about the Stone Face that was formed by the rocks far up on the side of the mountain near his home. He often sat with his mother talking about the face. Once he asked if she thought they would ever see such a man with such a face and she shared what her mother had to...more
El misterio y la fantasía de Hawthorne son cuasi arquetípicos, dada su dimensión moral y parabólica. En ocasiones, las historias remiten a épocas antiguas de las que tratan las grandes fábulas morales y nos ofrecen increíbles imágenes de lo insólito.
Este volumen consta de cinco cuentos: Wakefield, El gran rostro de piedra, El holocausto del mundo, La catástrofe del señor Higginbotham y El velo negro del pastor.
Aunque los cuentos me hayan parecido buenos, Hawthorne (1804-1864), en general, me resultó aburrido. Sin demeritar su estilo, poder e...more
Başarılı alegorik öyküler var içinde; tür olarak farklılıklar gösteriyor çoğu da. Özellikle 'Ateşe Verilen Dünya' isimli öykü hoş, devrim ve devinimlerin önceki yaşantıları mahvedebilme kapasitesine dikkat çekiyor.
