Overview

Published in 1837 in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s collection Twice-Told Tales, this short story, narrated by Hawthorne himself, describes an instance in which a man leaves his house, telling his wife that he is going on a short trip but instead moving into a room the next street over. After 20 years of spying on his wife and family, Wakefield walks back into his home and returns to being a caring husband as if nothing had happened. In his characteristic style, Hawthorne speculates on Wakefield’s activities, thoughts, and feelings during his time of separation from his life. The text is presented in both English and Spanish and is accompanied by intricate pencil drawings that animate the odd man and his wife.

Publicado en 1837 en la colección Cuentos contados dos veces de Nathaniel Hawthorne, este cuento, narrado por el propio Hawthorne, relata la crónica de un hombre que sale de su casa, diciéndole a su esposa que va de viaje corto pero que en cambio se muda a una habitación en la calle de al lado. Después de 20 años de espiar a su esposa y su familia, Wakefield vuelve a casa y a su vida matrimonial como si nada hubiera pasado. En su estilo característico, Hawthorne especula sobre las actividades, los pensamientos y las emociones de Wakefield durante el tiempo de separación de su vida. Se presenta el texto en inglés y español y se acompaña con dibujos de lápiz detallados que animan al hombre extraño y a su esposa.
