The Sound And The Fury

Opis produktu:

A towering, intense novel of family from the winner of the Nobel Prize for LiteratureWith an introduction by Richard HughesEver since the first furore was created on its publication in 12, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, The Sound and the Fury explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart this is a novel about lovelessness - only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it.

What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?Born in 187 in New Albany, Mississippi, William Faulkner was the son of a family proud of their prominent role in the history of the south. He grew up in Oxford, Mississippi, and left high school at fifteen to work in his grandfathers bank. Rejected by the US military in 115, he joined the Canadian flyers with the RAF, but was still in training when the war ended.

Returning home, he studied at the University of Mississippi and visited Europe briefly in 125. His first poem was published in The New Republic in 11. His first book of verse and early novels followed, but his major work began with the publication of The Sound and the Fury in 12.
