Our Old Home
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Leído por Margaret Espaillat
These essays, based on Hawthorne’s stay in England from 1853 to 1857 as American Consul in Liverpool, were first published in the form of a series of travel articles for The Atlantic Monthly.
In these writings, he displays his humor, his empathetic nature, his pride in his country, and sometimes his sharp judgment of others. He shares with us the difficulties of being a consul in the 1850’s, takes us on a tour with him through rural England and Scotland, shows us the splendors of London, and the horrors of the poverty that so many suffered.

Reseñas
A MASTERFUL OBSERVER
Avid Listener
This book may not be for everyone, but it is a wonderful description of English customs and English tourist attractions during the mid-nineteenrh century. Anyone can look, but few can describe so realistically as does NH. The two sections on "Outside Glmpses Of English Poverty" are so realistic as to be depressing. The reader was excellent: good pace; good, consistent volume; and clearly understandable.
