Book excerpt: Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the greatest American writers of the nineteenth century, and some of his most powerful work was in the form of fable-like tales that make rich use of allegory and symbolism. The dark beauty and moral force of his imagination are evident in this short story by one of the early masters of the form, in which a young man who believes he has witnessed a satanic initiation can never see his pious neighbors the same way again.
