The House of the Seven Gables

In an old New England mansion, heavy with shadows and secrets, an ancient curse still lingers. The Pyncheon family, marked by guilt and ambition, lives under the specter of a crime committed generations ago. Within the dark walls of the House of the Seven Gables, the echoes of the past intertwine with the lives of its new inhabitants: the melancholic Hepzibah, the gentle Clifford, and the radiant Phoebe, whose arrival brings a ray of hope to a home condemned by time.

The House of the Seven Gables stands as one of the masterpieces of American Romanticism—a novel of decay, justice, and the eternal conflict between the past and the human conscience.

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) was an American novelist and short story writer, considered one of the great representatives of nineteenth-century American literature. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, his works are deeply marked by the influence of Puritanism and the colonial history of New England, as well as by themes such as guilt, sin, and morality. Among his most renowned works is The Scarlet Letter (1850). His style combines dark symbolism with a keen psychological exploration of his characters.
