The House of the Seven Gables.

The greatest gothic novel in American literature, which Lovecraft described as "the main and most complete work of Nathaniel Hawthorne among his other supernatural writings." In the novel "The House of the Seven Gables," the brilliant author of "The Scarlet Letter" tells the story of an ancient family curse that casts a heavy shadow over the young and cheerful protagonists. Meaningless hatred between two families breeds bitterness and misfortune. Will reason and love overcome years of enmity - especially since the long-standing story of slander threatens to repeat itself once again?

The grim setting is an ancient house in the settlement of Salem, notoriously known in connection with the trial of the local "witches"... This edition features a brilliant anonymous translation from the 19th century. The spelling and punctuation have been brought closer to modern standards, while preserving the characteristics of the literary style of the last century.
