About this audiobook

The House of the Seven Gables is a gloomy New England mansion, haunted from its foundation by fraudulent dealings, accusations of witchcraft, and sudden death. The current resident, the dignified but desperately poor Hepzibah Pyncheon, opens a shop in a side room to support her brother Clifford, who is about to leave prison after serving twenty-five years for murder. She refuses all assistance from her unpleasant wealthy cousin Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon. A distant relative, the pretty young Phoebe, turns up and quickly becomes invaluable, charming customers and rousing Clifford from depression. A delicate romance grows between Phoebe and the mysterious lodger Holgrave, who is writing a history of the Pyncheon family.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne (Salem, Massachusetts, 1804-Plymouth, 1864) escribió alegorías, de las que, sorprendentemente, llegaría a arrepentirse. Fue amigo de Herman Melville, quien le dedicó Moby Dick. Fue un recluso voluntario, por una especie de malentendido con las puertas. Terminó sus días como Hölderlin, escribiendo encerrado en una torre. Poe, que no era de halago fácil, dijo de él: «Lo considero uno de los pocos hombres de genio indiscutible que ha llegado a dar nuestro país». Para el editor Duy­ckinck era como si ese genio, «sin deudas respecto al pasado o a contemporáneos extranjeros», hubiera caído del cielo.
