from The Nathaniel Hawthorne Library · host Nathaniel Hawthorne

In which a solitary narrator takes refuge in a respectable hotel, observing with delicate attention the mingled sounds and sights of urban life, while reflecting upon the curious interlude of his recent rural experience. From his window he surveys the modest theatre of city backyards, noting the humble domestic dramas and the quiet persistence of nature amidst human artifice, all observed with a gentle and pensive eye.
