A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

William Faulkner, one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, was born in New Albany, Mississippi, on September 25, 1897. He published his first book, The Marble Faun, in 1924, but it is as a literary chronicler of life in the Deep South—particularly in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, the setting for several of his novels—that he is most highly regarded. In such novels as The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Light in August, and Absalom, Absalom! he explored the full range of post–Civil War Southern life, focusing both on the personal histories of his characters and on the moral uncertainties of an increasingly dissolute society. In combining the use of symbolism with a stream-of-consciousness technique, he created a new approach to fiction writing. In 1949 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. William Faulkner died in Byhalia, Mississippi, on July 6, 1962.

Revue de presse

"A work of timeless importance" (New York Times)

"He has written a novel which in form is a thriller - and a very good thriller too - but this without distracting from its profundity" (New Statesman)

"There is an extraordinary vigor and power in his writing, a feverish urge toward description in which words combine in a dense web of meaning" (Chicago Tribune)

"The greatest American writers of the last century were William Faulkner and Saul Bellow" (Philip Roth)

"In a single brief decade, Faulkner had produced more lasting works of fiction than many great writers do in a lifetime" (Guardian)
