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.

Musgos de una Vieja Rectoria,obra perturbadora y profunda, impregnada de un romanticismo negro y unavision del mundo intensamente pesimista, es el producto de una imaginacionradical y despiadada en su clarividencia. La constitucion psicologicay moral del hombre es algo monstruoso y deforme, y la civilizacionha exacerbado sus cimientos en el mal. Segun Hawthorne, lasustancia mas firme de la felicidad de los hombres es una laminainterpuesta sobre el abismo que se extiende por todas partes, debajo denosotros... y esa lamina mantiene nuestro mundo ilusorio. No serequiere un terremoto para romperla, basta con apoyar el pie. Hawthorneintento expresar ese abismo -esa oscuridad que sostiene nuestrafabrica de ilusiones- mediante la metafora y la alegoria,a traves de una serpiente en el pecho o una marca de nacimiento.
