Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The New Adam and Eve (From 'Mosses from an Old Manse')" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story published in 1843. In this allegorical tale, Hawthorne imagines humanity wiped clean from Earth, leaving behind only its structures and artifacts. Into this empty world step two innocent figures who must navigate the remnants of civilization without understanding its meaning. True to Hawthorne's dark vision, the story explores what these new inhabitants might discover about human nature through the traces left behind.
