Produktinformationen zu „The Great Stone Face, and Other Tales of the White Mountains (ePub)“
'The Great Stone Face' is a short story published by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850. The story reappeared in a full-length book, The Snow-Image, and Other Twice-Told Tales, published by Ticknor, Reed & Fields in 1852. It has since been republished and anthologized many times. Hawthorne sets the scene in a rural valley located in an unnamed U.S. state that resembles New Hampshire. A rock formation in a nearby notch is imagined, by many locals and visitors, to resemble the shape and features of a human face. The local folklore of the valley includes a prophecy, alleged to descend from the Native Americans, that at some future date a native son would be born within sight of the notch whose features would resemble the Great Stone Face; and when this face was seen, those who would see him would recognize that he was 'the greatest and noblest personage of his time.' This prophecy inspires an innocent youngster of the valley, Ernest, who feels within himself the quest to help uncover this hero.
