The Mansion completes Faulkner's great trilogy of the Snopes family in the mythical county of Yoknapatawpha, Mississippi, which also includes The Hamlet and The Town. Beginning with the murder of Jack Houston, and ending with the murder of Flem Snopes, it traces the downfall of this indomitable post-bellum family, who managed to seize control of the town of Jefferson within a generation.

This sequel to Faulkner's "Sanctuary", written 20 years later, takes up the story of Temple Drake eight years after the events related in the first book.

The complete text of Faulkner's third novel, published for the first time in 1973, appeared with his reluctant consent in a much cut version in 1929 as Sartoris.

Nel 1955 Faulkner fu preso da una furia memorabile in conseguenza della caccia che i giornali americani stavano dando a fatti della sua vita privata (e amorosa). Così, per questa unica occasione, Faulkner si lanciò in un pamphlet micidiale, che investe non solo la stampa americana e la macchina dei media, ma l'intero "sogno americano". Nella parola "privacy", infatti, come sappiamo oggi in maniera più chiara che mai, si addensano tutto il pegg...

One of Faulkner's most admired and accessible novels, "Light in August" reveals the great American author at the height of his powers. Lena Grove's resolute search for the father of her unborn child begets a rich, poignant, and ultimately hopeful story of perseverance in the face of mortality. It also acquaints us with several of Faulkner's most unforgettable characters, including the Reverend Gail Hightower, who is plagued by visions of Confe...

This novel won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 1955. An allegorical story of World War I, set in the trenches in France and dealing ostensibly with a mutiny in a French regiment, it was originally considered a sharp departure for Faulkner.

Non sempre un'opera prima segna la nascita di uno scrittore. Ma se si tratta di William Faulkner, e se la materia del romanzo ha il sapore di un regolamento di conti, o di un risarcimento, il miracolo può avvenire. Quando "La paga dei soldati" esce per la prima volta, nel 1926, Faulkner ha trascorso gli otto anni dalla fine della Grande Guerra raccontando episodi del conflitto, e l'impressione che il lettore comune ricava dal libro è che il su...

Il Gomito del Francese è un territorio venti miglia a sud-est di Jefferson, Missouri, spartito "in tanti piccoli poderi ipotecati e miserabili". "Dominus" del luogo è Will Varner, un latifondista-usuraio proprietario della scuola, della chiesa, dell'emporio e di una trentina di case. E sue emanazioni o ramificazioni sembrano tutti coloro che lo circondano: dal figlio Jody, florido tiroideo chiuso in un'"inviolabile aria di celibato", alla dion...

Het tragische verhaal van de verleidelijke Caddy Compson, telg uit een ooit vooraanstaande familie uit Jefferson, Mississippi, wordt verteld vanuit de gefragmenteerde perspectieven van haar broers. Bij de drieëndertigjarige, zwakzinnige Benjy vormen drie decennia herinneringen aan zijn zus als warme, verzorgende moederfiguur een overweldigende caleidoscoop. De gevoelige Quentin zwerft als student door de vervallen buitenwijken van Boston, gekw...

New Orleans, un'estate degli anni Venti. Un gruppo di artisti, intellettuali e giovani vari è imbarcato sul panfilo di una ricca mecenate. Durante quattro giorni di crociera sul lago, scanditi dagli attacchi di zanzare, ciascuno persegue le sue fissazioni: alcol, sesso, teorie sull'arte, critica letteraria. Con questo suo secondo romanzo, del 1927, Faulkner scrive la sua opera comico-erotica guardando soprattutto all'"Ulisse" di Joyce uscito p...

Este conjunto turbador de relatos de índole fantástica, visionaria y alucinada, es una de las zonas más insólitas de la obra de Faulkner y quizá la más profunda y secreta clave de su universo moral. En esta agrupación el lector encontrará un cuadro vasto y sintético a un tiempo, de toda la gran narrativa faulkneriana.
