關於本電子書
In a sleepy little New England village stands a dark, weather-beaten, many-gabled house. This brooding mansion is haunted by a centuries-old curse that casts the shadow of ancestral sin upon the last four members of the distinctive Pyncheon family. Mysterious deaths threaten the living. Musty documents nestle behind hidden panels carrying the secret of the family’s salvation—or its downfall.
Hawthorne called The House of the Seven Gables “a Romance,” and freely bestowed upon it many fascinating gothic touches. A brilliant intertwining of the popular, the symbolic, and the historical, the novel is a powerful exploration of personal and national guilt, a work that Henry James declared “the closest approach we are likely to have to the Great American Novel.”

關於作者
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts to a sea captain and descendant of one of the judges of the Salem Witch Trials. Considered one of the transcendentalists, Hawthorne is best known for his short stories and for four major novels, including The Scarlet Letter and The Marble Faun. Many of Hawthorne's works are set in New England, and influenced by the region's Puritan heritage, they tend to offer the reader a moral and religious message. Hawthorne is also one of the foremost gothic writers. A branch of Romanticism, gothic novels used psychological terror, ghosts, and mystery to tell their stories.
