Illustrated edition : This special edition of The House of the Seven Gables includes evocative illustrations, a detailed summary, an insightful author biography, and a comprehensive list of characters. The House of the Seven Gables , first published in 1851, is a dark, Gothic novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne that explores themes of ancestral guilt, retribution, and the effects of time on family legacy. The novel is set in a gloomy, decaying mansion in New England, known as the House of the Seven Gables, which has been cursed by the sins of the past. The story centers on the Pyncheon family, particularly Hepzibah Pyncheon, her brother Clifford, and their distant cousin Phoebe, as they navigate the shadows of their family's tragic history. At the heart of the narrative is a long-standing feud between the Pyncheons and the Maule family, whose curse looms over the house.

This illustrated edition brings Hawthorne's brooding mansion and its spectral inhabitants to life with haunting visuals. Additionally, it includes a concise summary for easy reference, a biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne to provide insight into his life and literary influences, and a character list to help readers navigate the complex relationships within the novel.
