The House of the Seven Gables: *Online* *NEW*

Hawthorne's celebrated masterpiece is set in the House of the Seven Gables, the fictional equivalent of the real-life Turner-Ingersoll Mansion built in Salem in 1668. Set in a realm between the Actual and the Imaginary, the book weaves strong suggestions of supernatural elements, particularly witchcraft, into the story centered on the ancestral feud between the Maules and the Pyncheons. Hawthorne explores themes of betrayal, justice, and class set against the Gothic backdrop of a gloomy New England mansion with an evil curse.
