La Casa de los Siete Tejados es el nombre que recibe popularmente la mansión de la familia Pyncheon, que se cree víctima de una maldición desde que el patriarca, el puritano coronel Pyncheon, arrebató las tierras sobre las que se erige al humilde Matthew Maule, que terminaría siendo ajusticiado por brujería durante los célebres juicios de Salem de 1692. Ciento cincuenta años después, parece que el destino de los escasos descendientes de la familia que aún viven en la casa confirma la maldición de Maule. La inesperada llegada de la joven e inocente Phoebe Pyncheon parece prometer un nuevo hálito de vida y esperanza para los moradores de tan lúgubre residencia, pero ni ella ni sus primos se imaginan que pende sobre ellos una terrible amenaza de consecuencias imprevisibles.

Work Description

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."
