The Marble Faun; Or, The Romance of Monte Beni - Volume 1 by Nathaniel Hawthorne
"The Marble Faun; Or, The Romance of Monte Beni - Volume 1" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a romance published in 1860. Set in a fantastical Italy, the story follows four characters: the mysterious painter Miriam, innocent copyist Hilda, rationalist sculptor Kenyon, and Donatello, a count who strangely resembles an ancient marble faun. As Miriam is pursued by a threatening figure from her past and Donatello's possible connection to mythical ancestry emerges, the
narrative weaves together elements of fable, gothic mystery, and pastoral romance against an Italian backdrop. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
