Produktbeschreibung
In The Sound and the Fury, William Faulkner crafts a poignant and harrowing portrait of a Southern family in decline. Set in Mississippi in the early 20th century, the novel follows the Compson family-once-proud members of Southern aristocracy-through their unraveling as they grapple with loss, betrayal, and the passage of time. Told through the fragmented, deeply personal voices of four narrators, Faulkner's masterwork captures the chaos and beauty of human thought and memory. From Benjy's childlike perceptions to Quentin's tortured reflections and Jason's bitter resentment, each voice weaves a haunting tale of love, despair, and the search for meaning. At the heart of the story lies the enigmatic Caddy Compson, whose presence and absence shape the lives of those around her. A groundbreaking exploration of time, identity, and the collapse of tradition, The Sound and the Fury is a cornerstone of American literature. Faulkner's innovative narrative structure and poetic prose invite readers into the depths of the human condition, making this novel a timeless study of the burdens of memory and the enduring power of family ties.
Autorenporträt
While Faulkner's first novels garnered him very little attention, he went on to write works such as Absalom, Absalom!, Light in August, and The Sound and the Fury. He later went on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1955 and 1963, among many other accolades. While Faulkner's rise to fame isn't well-known by most, his influence and lasting impression on Southern Literature will not soon be forgotten. Faulkner wasn't afraid to examine the racial disparity of the South or question the lives of Southern aristocrats. Through his use of the Gothic style, his analytical and aberrant texts, and his examination of the Southern tragedy through elaborate and grotesque prose, Faulkner opens the door for his readers to inhabit a crumbling Southern landscape through a literary lens.
