Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Old Apple Dealer (From 'Mosses from an Old Manse')" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story published in 1843. This piece appears in Hawthorne's collection *Mosses from an Old Manse*, known for its allegorical tales exploring the darker aspects of human nature. Like many stories in the collection, it reflects what Herman Melville called Hawthorne's "blackness of darkness"—a persistent shadow beneath any surface brightness. The work exemplifies Hawthorne's distinctive style of moral complexity and psychological depth, characteristic of his mid-career literary output.
