It's time for another #ebook in my Grammaticus Free Library series!
This time it's "The Ambitious Guest," a short story by one of my favourites, Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864).
Set in the majestic scenery of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the story highlights the uncertainty of life and the fragility of human aspirations.
As always, there are vocabulary notes throughout the text, to help with some of the more archaic or advanced vocabulary. Suggested CEFR level: C1/C2.

Free ebook: “The Ambitious Guest” by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Before any of those hopes can be fulfilled, a massive landslide suddenly destroys everything in its path, highlighting the uncertainty of life and the fragility of human aspirations.

A few years ago, I named as many movie recommendations as I could that would amount to roughly three hundred characters when listed together. Hoping that constraint would make my list practical enough for folks to actually use.
Now, limiting myself again to about three hundred characters, I'll name my highest-recommended #GraphicNovels, #ShortStories, and #TV shows (in alphabetical order, as before)...
A SMALL KILLING by Moore and Zarate
COSMOS—A SPACETIME ODYSSEY by Druyan et al.
COSMOS—POSSIBLE WORLDS by Druyan et al.
"Earth's Holocaust" by Hawthorne
FROM HELL by Moore and Campbell
PROMETHEA by Moore et al.
"The Artist of the Beautiful" by Hawthorne
"The Birthmark" by Hawthorne
UNDERSTANDING COMICS by McCloud
I've been developing this new recommendation list ever since I posted its predecessor, believe it or not. Investigating hundreds of titles, among the three types of media. Comparing and contrasting. Scrutinizing the close calls and trade-offs.
Making such a short list for books/novels or their equivalents (not counting graphic novels) might be too hard for me, though. It seems there are too many outstanding choices, in that medium, to pare down to only three hundred characters. Still, I'll at least think about that for the future.

🅰️ 📖 🖋️ **The Market Place, from Nathaniel Hawthorne's “The Scarlet Letter”**
“This image responds to chapter 2, where Hester leaves prison to endure public humiliation on the town scaffold. The text describes women resentful of Hester's beauty, who find her punishment too lenient–figures shown here below the steps.”
