Resumen |
Cursed by a dead man before it was built, the Pyncheon mansion is a sullen, moldy hulk, fouled by centures of corruption, rot and decay. within, old hermit Hepzibah, whose grim face scare neighbors away, and half-mad brother Clifford, driven mindless from ancient fear and shame, fall into their own decay.
Until a young cousin, Phoebe, suddenly comes to bring brightness and joy to the dark mansion, reviving the pincheon´s lives and fortunes. But another cousin Judge Jaffrey Pincheon -the incarnation of the familys´s evil ancestor- believes the mansion holds a secret that can bring him vast wealth and power... and no one on earth can stop Jaffrey´s greed from destroying the last hope for happiness in The house of the seven gables. |
