Langue : anglais.Publication : Leipzig, Germany : Amazon Distribution, [Date de publication non identifiée]Description : 1 Volume non paginé : Couverture Illustrée en noir et blanc, Illustré en couleurs ; 23cm.ISBN : 9781521936030.Résumé : "The Minister's Black Veil" is a story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The story begins with the sexton standing in front of the meeting-house, ringing the bell. He is to stop ringing the bell when the Reverend Mr. Hooper comes into sight. However, the congregation is met with an unusual sight: Mr. Hooper is wearing a black semi-transparent veil that obscures all of his face but his mouth and chin from view. This creates a stir among the townspeople, who begin to speculate about his veil and its significance. As he takes the pulpit, Mr. Hooper's sermon is on secret sin and is "tinged, rather more darkly than usual, with the gentle gloom of Mr. Hooper's temperament". This topic concerns the congregation who fear for their own secret sins as well as their minister's new appearance. After the sermon, a funeral is held for a young lady of the town who has died. Mr. Hooper stays for the funeral and continues to wear his now more appropriate veil. It is said that if the veil were to blow away, he might be "fearful of her glance".Type de document | Site actuel | Cote | Statut | Date de retour prévue |
