Twice-Told Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne ~ Full Audiobook [folklore]

Twice-Told Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne audiobook.

Genre: folklore

In Twice-Told Tales, Nathaniel Hawthorne gathers a landmark collection of short fiction that helped define American romanticism and the darkly luminous literature of New England. Moving between village streets, lonely forests, and haunted corners of history, these stories blend everyday detail with the uncanny, revealing how pride, guilt, ambition, and hidden desire can shape a life. Hawthorne returns again and again to communities where public reputation matters, where old grievances linger, and where a single private choice can echo for years. Across sketches, legends, and moral fables, he introduces figures such as the restless dreamer, the burdened minister, the suspicious neighbor, and the ordinary person confronted by a symbol that will not let go. Some tales draw on the Puritan past, others on contemporary scenes, but all share Hawthorne's signature atmosphere: quiet dread, compassionate irony, and a fascination with the line between sin and self-deception. Rich in imagery and suspense yet rooted in human psychology, Twice-Told Tales invites listeners into a world where history feels alive and every shadow hints at a deeper truth.
