Naxos Audiobooks The House of the Seven Gables (EN)
24 €
‘To inherit a great fortune. To inherit a great misfortune. ’ These words, from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s notebook, neatly encapsulate the theme of The House of the Seven Gables – that of a family whose fortunes are poisoned by its past misdeeds. The sins of the Pyncheon father are visited upon his children over a period of several generations, until such time as one of his descendants unites with a member of the family he has wronged.
