Nell'estate del 1851 la moglie di Hawthorne, Sophia, parte con le due figlie per far visita ai genitori che vivono nei pressi di Boston. Così, per tre settimane, lo scrittore si ritrova da solo - e all'inizio un po' sgomento - con il figlio Julian, che ha cinque anni ed è un vero "chatterbox", infaticabile produttore di parole e di domande. Hawthorne è schivo, introverso, incline a elaborare storie di memorabile e fascinosa cupezza, come "La lettera scarlatta".

Il giovane Giovanni raggiunge Padova per gli studi universitari ma, non appena si affaccia alla finestra della pensione in cui ha preso residenza, ogni pensiero accademico scompare. Tra i fiori di un bizzarro giardino vi è difatti una splendida rosa: il suo nome è Beatrice, esile e bellissima figlia dell'inquietante dottor Rappaccini. Lei, che rifiuta tutti gli ammiratori, sembra più che favorevole al delicato corteggiamento di Giovanni. Ma in molti avvisano il ragazzo, esortandolo a stare alla larga dalla splendida fanciulla: il padre non esita di fronte a nulla in nome della scienza.
