«La letra roja» is the novel by American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
In seventeenth-century Puritan Boston, Hester Prynne, accused of adultery, must wear a scarlet letter «A» on her chest as a mark of public shame. From that condemnation, Nathaniel Hawthorne reflects on sin, guilt, repentance, and the hypocrisy of a rigid and moralistic society.
The novel was originally published as The Scarlet Letter in 1850; this Spanish edition, from 1998, includes a translation by A. Ruste and a prologue by the Duke of Alba.
