To his delight, his wish is granted and he soon sets about transforming his ordinary palace into a place of golden beauty. But to his dismay, when he accidentally turns his beloved daughter Marigold, into a golden statue, Midas learns that what at first seems a blessing can also become a curse.Optimized for Kindle devices and featuring Panel Zoom facility.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
**Nathaniel Hawthorne** (1804–1864) est l’un des plus grands écrivains américains du XIXe siècle. Né à Salem, dans le Massachusetts, il est marqué par l’héritage puritain de sa famille, notamment par l’implication de ses ancêtres dans les procès des sorcières de Salem. Son œuvre, souvent teintée de symbolisme et de réflexion morale, explore les tensions entre la culpabilité, la rédemption et la quête de sens. Auteur de chefs-d’œuvre comme *La Lettre écarlate* et *La Maison aux sept pignons*, Hawthorne a profondément influencé la littérature américaine par sa prose riche et son analyse psychologique des personnages.
