Готорн Натаниель, Hawthorne Nathaniel: Mosses from an Old Manse & The Blithedale Romance = Мхи старой усадьбы и Роман о Блайтдейле. Т. 7.:

Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American novelist, a dark romantic, and short story writer. Mosses from an Old Manse is Hawthornes interesting story collection, which the was named in honor of The Old Manse, where Hawthorne and his wife lived for the first three years of their marriage. And The Blithedale Romance, one of Hawthornes major novels, explores the limitations of human nature set against an experiment in communal living. From mesmerism to illicit love it represents one of Hawthornes best and most sharply etched works, one that Henry James called his "brightest" and "liveliest" novel.
