Summary:

Unabridged Audiobook. 1 MP3 CD - 9 hours, 2 minutes. Narrated by
Shelly Frasier It is 1642 in the Puritan town of Boston. Hester
Prynne has been found guilty of adultery and has born an illegitimate
child. In lieu of being put to death, she is condemned to wear the
scarlet letter A on her dress as a reminder of her shameful act.
Hester's husband had been lost at sea years earlier and was presumed
dead, but now reappears in time to witness Hester's humiliation on
the town scaffold. Upon discovering her deed, the vengeful husband
becomes obsessed with finding the identity of the man who dishonored
his wife. To do so he assumes a false name, pretends to be a
physician and forces Hester keep his new identity secret. Meanwhile
Hester's lover, the beloved Reverend Dimmesdale, publicly pressures
her to name the child's father, while secretly praying that she will
not. Hester defiantly protects his identity and reputation, even
while faced with losing her daughter, Pearl. Hailed by Henry James
as, "the finest piece of imaginative writing yet put forth in the
country", Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is a masterful portrayal of
humanity's continuing struggle with sin, guilt and pride. This
audiobook is on one CD, encoded in MP3 format and will only play on
CD players and computers that have the ability to play this unique
format.
