About this book

In the art-filled world of Rome, four young artists become entangled in a mysterious crime that binds them together in guilt and moral awakening, with the sinister figure of a model and a murder at the story's dark heart. Hawthorne sets his meditation on sin, innocence, and the loss of Eden against the ancient ruins and galleries of Italy, blending travelogue with Gothic romance. Rich in symbolism and atmosphere, The Marble Faun explores whether wrongdoing can lead to spiritual growth. Contemplative and evocative, Hawthorne's last completed novel is a haunting study of art, conscience, and the shadowy border between innocence and experience.
