William Faulkner Livres

Oui je le hais je mourrais pour lui je suis déjà morte pour lui je meurs pour lui encore et encore chaque fois que cela se produit... Pauvre Quentin Elle se renversa en arrière appuyée sur ses bras les mains nouées autour des genoux Tun n'as jamais fait cela n'est-ce pas Fait quoi Ce que j'ai fait Si si bien des fois avec bien des femmes Puis je me suis mis à pleurer sa main me toucha de nouveau et je pleurais contre sa blouse humide elle était étendue sur le dos et par-delà ma tête elle regardait le ciel je pouvais voir un cercle blanc sus ses prunelles et j'ouvris mon couteau.

The years 1942 to 1954 saw William Faulkner's rise to literary celebrity - sought after by Hollywood, lionized by the critics, awarded a Nobel Prize in 1950 and the Pulitzer and National Book Award for 1954. But despite his success, he was plagued by depression and alcohol and haunted by a sense that he had more to achieve - and a finite amount of time and energy to achieve it. This volume - the third in The Library of America's new, authoritative edition of Faulkner's complete works - collects the novels written during this crucial and fascinating period in his career. The newly restored texts, based on Faulkner's manuscripts, typescripts, and proof sheets, are free of the changes introduced by the original editors and are faithful to the author's intentions. In the four works included here, Faulkner delved deeper into themes of race and religion, and furthered his experiments with fictional structure and narrative voice; defying the odds, he continued to break new ground in American fiction. Go Down, Mos

Tells the stories of a mourning family remembering its past, a vicious gangster, a young pregnant woman searching for her child's father, and barnstorming pilots at an air show

Included are classics of short-form fiction such as A Bear Hunt', A Rose for Emily', Two Soldiers' and The Brooch'. Faulkner's ability to compress his epic vision into narratives of such grace and tragic intensity defines him as one of the finest and most original writers America has ever produced.

The collection features Gavin Stevens, a perceptive observer of crime and culture in Mississippi's Yoknapatawpha County, as he navigates six gripping tales of violence. Each story delves into the complexities of human behavior and the darker aspects of society, revealing the intricate relationships and moral dilemmas faced by its characters. Through Stevens' insights, the narratives explore themes of justice, morality, and the impact of violence on community and identity.

The collection features forty-five short stories by a pivotal figure in American literature, categorized into previously unpublished works, stories not found in earlier collections, and those that evolved into renowned novels like The Unvanquished and Go Down, Moses. This volume showcases Faulkner's haunting and atmospheric storytelling, making it a significant addition to his body of work and a reflection of his literary mastery in the twentieth century.
