The curse of Matthew Maule descends on seven generations of the inhabitants of an old New England house.
The House of the Seven Gables. A Romance
A gloomy New England mansion provides the setting for this classic exploration of ancestral guilt and its expiation through the love and goodwill of succeeding generations. Nathaniel Hawthorne drew inspiration for this story of an immorally obtained property from the role his forebears played in the 17th-century Salem witch trials. Built over an unquiet grave, the House of the Seven Gables carries a dying man's curse that blights the lives of its residents for over two centuries. Now Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon, an iron-hearted hypocrite and intellectual heir to the mansion's unscrupulous founder,
The house of the seven gables : an authoritative text, background and sources, essays in criticism
When it was first erected, the House of Seven Gables typified the mechanical Colonel Pyncheon; but it developed through the years until, by Hepzibah's time, it has become humanized and almost organic. The history of the house is thus a record of continuity and change. Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables is a study of guilt and renewal from generation to generation. At the time of the Salem witch trials, the patriarch of the Pyncheons covets the property of a tradesman and manipulates public opinion so as to get Matthew Maule hanged for witchcraft and acquire the land. The dying man's curse on the Pyncheon family comes true generation upon generation and relationships between the families are colored forever by this "original sin." That is, until six generations later when the long-hidden truth is revealed. The House of the Seven Gables is Hawthorne's most humorous novel, it is also the work in which he is most serious in his devotion to the powers of beauty and imagination and his hatred of economic materialism and Philistinism.
Greedy Colonel Pyncheon builds his mansion on ill-gotten ground, setting the stage for generations of suffering. Years later, a country cousin and young boarder attempt to reverse the tide of misfortunes surrounding the house.

In the final years of the seventeenth century in a small town in New England, the venerable Colonel Pyncheon decides to erect a ponderously oak-framed and spacious family mansion. It occupies the spot where Matthew Maule, an "obscure man," had lived in a log hut, until his execution for witchcraft. From the scaffold, Maule points his finger at the presiding Colonel and cries "God will give him blood to drink!" The fate of Colonel Pyncheon exerts a heavy influence on his descendants in the crumbling mansion for the next century and a half. In The House of the Seven Gables (1851) Hawthorne sought to write a story which would show guilt to be a trick of the imagination. The tension between fantasy and a new realism underpins the novel's descriptive virtuosity. - Back cover.

The House of the Seven Gables, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Greed, treachery, mesmerism, and murder are just some of the bricks Hawthorne uses to build The House of the Seven Gables. Generations before the present story begins, wealthy Colonel Pyncheon covets Matthew Maule's land. When Maule is hanged for witchcraft, he puts a curse on the Colonel—and all his descendants. Now the menacing Judge Pyncheon continues the family tradition of hiding cruelty under a dazzling smile, while his scowling niece, Hepzibah, and half-mad nephew, Clifford, are reduced to poverty by his machinations. But the younger generation, embodied in their distant cousin, Phoebe, becomes a ray of hope penetrating the dark house. Though Hawthorne openly discusses his book's “moral in its preface, The House of the Seven Gables is no dry sermon. In fact, a strong stream of poetic fantasy runs through it, which the author acknowledges by calling it a “romance, rather than a novel. Like his other great works, The House of the Seven Gables reflects Hawthorne's rich understanding of complex motives, of individuals caught in the unending struggle between our highest aspirations and our basest desires. Gordon Tapper, Associate Professor of English at DePauw University, is the author of The Machine That Sings: Modernism, Hart Crane, and the Culture of the Body. He also wrote the Introduction and Notes to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Willa Cather's My Ántonia.

GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables is a classic of American literature, written by one of the country's greatest writers. First published in 1851, the book is set in a mansion not unlike his cousin's many-gabled home in Salem, Massachusetts, which Hawthorne visited regularly. Caroline O. Emmerton's introductory note to this 1913 edition details the history of the house, from its construction circa 1668 to its purchase and restoration by Emmerton in the early 1900s. Emmerton founded the House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association in 1910, to serve the growing population of immigrant factory workers flocking to Salem. To help fund the Settlement House, the mansion opened its doors to the public as a museum, also in 1910. This edition is illustrated with 16 photographs of interior and exterior views of the house.

The fate of Colonel Pyncheon exerts a heavy influence on his descendants inthe crumbling mansion for the next century and a half.Hawthorne called his novel a 'Romance', drawing on the Gothic tradition which embraced and exploited the thrills of the supernatural. Unlike The Scarlet Letter, with its unrelentingly dark view of human nature and guilt, Hawthorne sought to write 'a more natural and healthy product of my mind', a story which would show guilt to be a trick of the imagination. The tension between fantasy and a new realism underpins the novel's descriptive virtuosity.
House of the seven gables, the: webster's Icelandic thesaurus edition
One hundred years after inheriting a seven-gabled house with a dark and cursed past, Clifford and Hepzibah are old and nearly destitute. Descendants of the cursed Colonel Pyncheon, they have resorted to taking in boarders and running a struggling cent store to support themselves. When a distant relative, untouched by Colonel Pyncheon's curse, moves into the gabled house and takes over the cent store, her charm and disposition brings success to the shop and the Pyncheons' situation improves. But it soon becomes clear the bad luck surrounding the house is not easily overcome. The House of the Seven Gables was inspired by the gabled home of Hawthorne's cousin, and his own family's involvement in the Salem Witch Trials. The novel, claimed by Hawthorne to be a romance, has been re-categorized, controversially, several times as gothic horror, fiction, thriller, supernatural, and even fantasy. It has been adapted for the screen several times, and inspired H. P. Lovecraft's work in horror fiction.

In 17th-century New England, Hepzibah Pyncheon tries to protect her ex-convict brother from the persecution of the unscrupulous Judge Pyncheon.
A novel about witchcraft trials in Salem, Massachusetts.
In an old, gloomy New England mansion, a woman opens a shop to support her brother, recently returned from prison. She takes on a border, and a distant relative--a beautiful, lively young woman--comes to live with them as well. The fragile bond between this group is shaken by the secret history of the house and their wealthy cousin who wants to take it from them.
Doch als die junge Phoebe Pyncheon vor der Tür steht, erhellt ihr frisches und ungezwungenes Wesen das Haus wie ein Sonnenstrahl. Für sie entflammt der etwas eigenwillige, aber stets beherzte Künstler Holgrave, letzter Nachfahre der Maules - ein Hoffnungsschimmer für ein Happy End. Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), einer der Gründerväter US-amerikanischer Literatur, glänzt mit seiner Mischung aus dunkler Romantik und hintersinnigem Humor. Nachwortautor Hanjo Kesting erkennt in diesem Werk "Hawthornes Vision eines jungen, erneuerten Amerika, das sich aus dem Bannkreis Europas und seines puritanischen Erbes gelöst hat". Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) wurde als Spross einer alten puritanischen Familie in Salem, Massachusetts geboren. Sein Vater starb, als er vier Jahre alt war. Nach seinem Studium arbeitete er zunächst als Journalist, später im Zollamt von Boston. Seinen ersten Roman veröffentlichte er 1828.-

House of the seven gables, the: webster's Hebrew thesaurus edition
Hawthorne's tale about the brooding hold of the past over the present is a complex one, twisting and turning its way back through many generations of a venerable New England family, one of whose members was accused of witchcraft in 17th century Salem. More than 200 years later, we meet the family in its decaying, gabled mansion, still haunted by the presence of dead ancestors: Hepzibah, an elderly gentlewoman fallen on had times; her ineffectual brother, Clifford; and young Phoebe, a country maiden who cheerfully takes it upon herself to care for her two doddering relations. There's also Holgrave, a free-spirited daguerreotypist, who makes a surprising transformation into conventional respectability at the story's end. These people seem to be symbols for Hawthorne's theme more than full-bodied characters in their own right. As such, it can only be difficult for today's young adults to identify with them, especially since they are so caught up in a past that is all but unknown to present day sensibilities. Talented Joan Allen, twice nominated for Academy Awards, reads the tale in a clear, luminous voice. Because she has chosen not to do voices, however, it is sometimes difficult to tell which character is speaking. Still, she is more than equal to the task of handling Hawthorne's stately prose in a presentation that will be a good curriculum support for students of Hawthorne or those seeking special insight into this work of fiction.

Literary criticism and interpretation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's work: The House of the Seven Gables. "The four Pyncheons live inside the blighted house: Hepzibah, an elderly recluse, Clifford, her feeble-minded brother, Phoebe, their young country cousin ... and Jaffrey, a devil incarnate whose greedy quest for secret wealth is marked by murder and terrible vengeance from a restless grave."

This enduring novel of crime and retribution vividly reflects the social and moral values of New England in the 1840s. Nathaniel Hawthorne's gripping psychological drama concerns the Pyncheon family, a dynasty founded on pious theft, who live for generations under a dead man's curse until their house is finally exorcised by love. Hawthorne, by birth and education, was instilled with the Puritan belief in America's limitless promise. Yet -- in part because of blemishes on his own family history -- he also saw the darker side of the young nation. Like his twentieth-century heirs William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hawthorne peered behind propriety's façade and exposed the true human condition. -- Back cover.

Complete writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne in twenty-two volumes
Paranormal fiction
Romantický příběh o spletitých vztazích dobra a zla, o vině a trestu. Patricijský rod Pyncheonů, sídlící ve starobylém domě v Mové Anglii, je stíhán kletbou. Účinek křivdy, spáchané kdysi na rodině nezámožných Maulů, trvá vtrojí generaci (přiznačně odlišné pro 17., 18. a 19. stol.), postupně bledne a posléze mizí, když poslední potomci obou znešvářených rodů se smíří sňatkem. Pravou kletbou Pyncheonů je však jejichokázalým puritánstvím. Hawthorne, jeden z prvních průkopníků americké literatury (1804-1864), známý u nás hlavně "Šarlatovým písmenem", v tomto díle strhává pokryteckou masku své vlastní třídě a vynáší soud nad tehdejšíamerickou společností.
Snow image, and other twice-told tales
Nové vydání slavného romaneta významného amerického spisovatele, v jehož díle se střetávají staré puritánské tradice a pozdní romantismus s nastupujícimi proudy moderní doby. S velkým mistrovstvím v něm autor vypráví oobyvatelích domu svérázné architektury v jednom městě Nové Anglie, kteří žijí v neustálém napětí jakési krvavé viny, které se zhruba před půl stoletím dopustil zakladatel jejich rodu. Romantický příběh o spletitých vztazíchdobra a zla, o vině a trestu neztrácí nic z poklidu starých časů 19. století.

'Ein Roman wie ein Haus, wie ein Herz, wie Amerika'. (Elmar Krekeler, Literarische Welt) Ein düsterer Holzbau vermodert auf ruchlos ergaunertem Grund. Die Schrecken der Vergangenheit quälen seine verschrobenen Bewohner, Gefangene im Mief ihres bigotten Puritanismus. Kann eine neue Generation Licht ins Dunkel bringen? Dieser fulminante Roman zeigt Nathaniel Hawthorne, Vorreiter der gothic fiction, auf dem Höhepunkt seines Schaffens. "Gott wird ihm Blut zu trinken geben!" So verflucht Matthew Maule Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts Oberst Pyncheon, weil dieser ihn als Hexer hängen lässt, um an seine Ländereien zu gelangen. Prompt stirbt der Oberst schon bei der Einweihungsfeier des Hauses mit den sieben Giebeln. Und auch gut hundertfünfzig Jahre später, Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, steht das Schicksal der Familie noch unter einem schlechten Stern: Die alte Hepzibah Pyncheon fristet ein Dasein in Armut, ihr Bruder Clifford sass dreissig Jahre unschuldig im Gefängnis.-

The house of Seven Gables
The house of the seven gables : Hawthorne
The house of the seven gables : Introd. by Roy Harvey Pearce
A novel following the fortunes of a decayed New England family. Their house was built under a curse which has remained on the family.
La casa dei sette abbaini
The ancient mansion of the story is cursed with a hidden secret. When its two frail and aged inhabitants Hepzibah and Clifford Pyncheon are joined by their vivacious young cousin Phoebe, the mystery looks set to be resolved. The music is by Liszt, Mendelssohn, Schumann and Couperin.
In the House of the Seven Gables, Nathaniel Hawthorne explores themes of guilt, retribution, and atonement in a New England family and colors the tale with suggestions of the supernatural and witchcraft. An evil house, cursed through the centuries by a man who was hanged for witchcraft, is haunted by the ghosts of its sinful dead and wracked by the fear of its frightened living. The story was inspired by a gabled house in Salem belonging to Hawthorne's cousin Susanna Ingersoll and by those of Hawthorne's ancestors who played a part in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Written as a follow-up to The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables is truly a masterful blending of the actual and the imaginary.
1841 schloss er sich den Transzendentalisten an, einer Gruppierung um Henry D. Thoreau und Ralph Waldo Emerson, die eine naturverbundene, antimaterialistische Gesllschaftsordnung anstrebte. Er lebte vorübergehend in der sozialutopischen Brook-Farm-Kommune, beendete das Experiment jedoch nach einem halben Jahr. 1853 wurde er amerikanischer Konsul in Liverpool und lebte bis 1860 mit seiner Familie in Europa.
