《七个尖角阁的老宅》又名《七个尖角阁的房子》，借用家族诅咒这一古老的哥特传统，描写了品钦家族因祖上谋财害命而使后代遭到报应的故事。 小说对七角阁老宅的描绘，处处充满着象征意义。老宅里与街道的对比是黑暗与光明的对比，老宅里表示过去、死亡、束缚和与世隔绝；街道上则象征着现在、生命、自由和现实。七角阁老宅处在形形色色的阴影之中，这些阴影象征着各种罪恶。从那张模糊不清、沾满灰尘的地图可以看到品钦法官的贪婪，从那张褪色了的画像中可以看到上校的冷酷和邪恶，从那架黑色的、样子像具棺材的大键琴上可以看到家族的傲慢。

Andrew Lang's "Angling Sketches" is a classic work read by book lovers, students and scholars. This is a special edition which exposes readers to a variety of English phrases and terminology from this genre. While the text is in English, the "click and translate" thesaurus, in Spanish, is a perfect tool for Spanish speakers who need to enjoy this English-language classic, and also learn English words. If you are a non-English speaker, you can use this version to help you improve your vocabulary in preparation of English-language tests. While designed for Spanish speakers wishing to learn English, English-speakers wanting to pick up Spanish vocabulary may also find the Spanish thesaurus feature of interest (the text is entirely in English, only the pop-up thesaurus is in Spanish).
