The Nobel Prize winner's most outstanding novel of 1949. It reveals the entire panorama of the American South.
However, in the gallery of different personalities, brought to life in this novel, horned by hatred, loneliness, lack of scruples, morality, in all this black, filthy life there happens to be a brightness - Lena and Byron. Lena walked many miles on foot for her "light" in an advanced pregnancy, Byron did not think that in his life, whose only meaning and purpose was physical labor in a sawmill, he would experience "light", Christmas seems doomed from birth to "darkness"....
Are we able to free ourselves from our past? After all, childhood shapes our personality, our fears, anxieties, anger, suffering. The pain inflicted on a child will always be evident in his adulthood. This is the case with Christmas. We get to know his life from flashbacks, from the accounts of different people, Faulkner's unique writing style - juggling time, interweaving memories and conveying the same picture through the eyes of different people - makes itself known here.
This edition is decorated with a thumbnail depicting an excerpt from the painting "American Gothic."
