Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables is a darkly beautiful romance of guilt inherited and slowly repaid. Two centuries ago the Pyncheon family seized their land by sending an innocent man to the gallows for witchcraft — and his dying curse has shadowed the house ever since. Today the gabled mansion shelters the proud, impoverished Hepzibah, her gentle brother broken by a wrongful imprisonment, and a bright young cousin whose presence may at last lift the weight of the past. A masterpiece of American Gothic by the author of The Scarlet Letter, this edition presents Hawthorne's complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
