L'auteur - Nathaniel Hawthorne

(1804-1864). Nathaniel Hawthorne est l'un des principaux écrivains américains de la première partie du XIXe siècle, aux côtés de son ami Herman Melville, l'auteur de Moby Dick. Si son oeuvre la plus connue est un roman tragique, La lettre écarlate, les récits du Livre des Merveilles, vivants, amusants, n'ont pas pris une ride.
