{"product_id":"2940015519945","title":"Cuando La Tierra Era Nina (Ilustraciones de Fontanals)","description":"This is the Spanish version of Nathaniel Hawthorne's \"A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys\" (1852), a children's book in which Hawthorne rewrites myths from Greek mythology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stories are all stories within a story, the frame story being that a Williams College student, Eustace Bright, is telling these tales to a group of children at Tanglewood, an estate in Lenox, Massachusetts, where Hawthorne lived for a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNathaniel Hawthorne (July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNathaniel Hawthorne was born in 1804 in the city of Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. Nathaniel later added a \"w\" to make his name \"Hawthorne\" in order to hide this relation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824, and graduated in 1825. Hawthorne anonymously published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828. He published several short stories in various periodicals which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at a Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA political appointment took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to The Wayside in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch of Hawthorne's writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his friend Franklin Pierce.","brand":"Balefire Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147884904688,"sku":"2940015519945","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015519945_p0.jpg?v=1763621171","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015519945","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
