Summary: "Stories of Exile" by Rossiter Johnson is a collection of short stories published in the late 19th century. The anthology features tales that explore themes of human experience and reflection, likely delving into the nature of loss, identity, and the struggles of individuals separated from their homes or communities. The opening story, "Ethan Brand" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, introduces readers to the character Ethan Brand, who embarks on a dark and introspective journey in search of the "Unpardonable Sin." At the start of the book, we are introduced to Bartram, a lime-burner, and his young son, who encounter Ethan Brand, a solitary figure who has returned after years of searching for meaning and understanding of sin. The lime-burner, initially dismissive of Brand's ominous presence and peculiar quest, becomes increasingly intrigued by the enigmatic man. As Brand reveals that he has found what he sought deep within himself, the interplay between light and dark, laughter and despair, begins to unfold, hinting at the grave consequences of his introspection. This opening sets a compelling tone for the tales that follow, promising a mix of psychological depth and moral inquiry throughout the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
