The House Of The Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne - - 1985 - Worlds Best Reading Readers Digest


I will be listing a few of these Classic books from The Readers Digest - The World's Best Reading Series.  I got these books, one at a time when they were issued.  Since I was working at the time, the books were placed on a shelf in the glass enclosed bookcase.  Needless to say, for the most part, they just sat forgotten and not read at the time and the left for a rainy day to read, that never happened.  Now they need to find new homes and someone who can take the time to sit down and enjoy them. 

Book is in excellent condition, has been on a book shelf entire time I have owned. See pictures, the book looks like it came right out of the shipping box. 

This edition was issued in 1985 and was illustrated by David Frampton.  Afterword by Henry James. 

In a sleepy little New England village stands a dark, weather-beaten, many-gabled house. This brooding mansion is haunted by a centuries-old curse that casts the shadow of ancestral sin upon the last four members of the distinctive old Pyncheon family. Mysterious deaths threaten the living. Musty documents nestle behind hidden panels carrying the secret of the family's salvation--or its downfall. 

Hawthorne called The House of the Seven Gables "a romance," and freely bestowed it with many fascinating gothic touches. A brilliant intertwining of the popular, the symbolic and the historical, the novel is a powerful exploration of personal and national guilt, a work that Henry James declared "the closest approach we are likely to have to the Great American Novel." 

287 pages of intrigue to keep you reading page after page. 

These books never came with dust jackets.  The size of the book is 6 1/4 inches by 9 1/4 inches and 1 inch thick. 

No marks, no missing pages, no turned corners, no stamps, no nothing to mar the beauty of this book.  You will be more than pleased with the book.  Original insert is included.
