The Snow Doll and Other Stories brings together the last collection of stories that Nathaniel Hawthorne published while alive and the last volume of the Cliff edition of the complete stories of a parent, with Whitman and Thoreau, of American literature. Recognized for his finesse when it comes to investigating human psychology, for his poetic imagination and for his ability to envelop the reader in atmospheres full of mystery and strangeness, in these pages we rediscover a writer capable of turning the everyday into mythical reveal to us, in the heart of the prodigious, that which is most profoundly human.
