<영어로 읽는 고전 _ 나다니엘 호손의 탱글우드 이야기>
"Tanglewood Tales"는 Nathaniel Hawthorne이 1853년에 어린이를 위해 다시 쓴 그리스 신화 모음집이다. 이 책에서 Hawthorne은 "미노타우로스", "피그미족", "용의 이빨"과 같은 그리스 신화의 이야기를 각색했다. " "Circe's Palace" 및 "The Golden Fleece"를 통해 어린 독자들이 더 쉽게 접근하고 흥미롭게 읽을 수 있다. 이야기에는 종종 도덕적 교훈을 강조하고 인간 본성, 운명, 오만함의 결과에 대한 주제를 탐구하는 호손의 독특한 문학 스타일이 담겨 있다. "Tanglewood Tales"는 종종 Hawthorne의 초기 작품인 "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys"의 동반 권으로 간주되며, 이 책에는 고전 신화도 다시 설명되어 있다. 두 책 모두 여러 세대에 걸쳐 독자들에게 그리스 신화의 풍부한 태피스트리를 소개하면서 아동 문학 분야에서 인기 있는 선택으로 남아 있다.


"Tanglewood Tales" is a collection of Greek myths rewritten for children by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1853. In this book, Hawthorne adapted stories from Greek mythology such as "The Minotaur," "The Pygmies," and "The Dragon's Teeth." ""Circe's Palace" and "The Golden Fleece" make reading more accessible and engaging for young readers. The stories often emphasize moral lessons and explore themes of human nature, fate, and the consequences of hubris, and Hawthorne's unique "Tanglewood Tales" is often considered a companion volume to Hawthorne's earlier work, "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys," both of which also retell classic myths for several generations. It remains a popular choice in children's literature, introducing readers to the rich tapestry of Greek mythology.

Summary
A short time ago, I was favored with a flying visit from my young friend Eustace Bright, whom I had not before met with since quitting the breezy mountains of Berkshire. It being the winter vacation at his college, Eustace was allowing himself a little relaxation, in the hope, he told me, of repairing the inroads which severe application to study had made upon his health; and I was happy to conclude, from the excellent physical condition in which I saw him, that the remedy had already been attended with very desirable success. He had now run up from Boston by the noon train, partly impelled by the friendly regard with which he is pleased to honor me, and partly, as I soon found, on a matter of literary business.
