As I Lay Dying
William Faulkner
(Author)
Description
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time From the Modern Library's new set of beautifully repackaged hardcover classics by William Faulkner--also available are Snopes, The Sound and the Fury, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom , and Selected Short Stories One of William Faulkner's finest novels, As I Lay Dying, originally published in 1930, remains a captivating and stylistically innovative work. The story revolves around a grim yet darkly humorous pilgrimage, as Addie Bundren's family sets out to fulfill her last wish: to be buried in her native Jefferson, Mississippi, far from the miserable backwater surroundings of her married life. Told through multiple voices, As I Lay Dying vividly brings to life Faulkner's imaginary South, one of literature's great invented landscapes, and is replete with the poignant, impoverished, violent, and hypnotically fascinating characters that were his trademark. Along with a new Foreword by E. L. Doctorow, this edition reproduces the corrected text of As I Lay Dying as established in 1985 by Faulkner expert Noel Polk.Product Details

About the Author
William Faulkner fue un narrador y poeta estadounidense, galardonado con el premio Nobel de literatura en 1949. Escribi贸 novelas, relatos cortos, guiones cinematogr谩ficos, ensayos y una obra de teatro. Es principalmente conocido por sus narraciones situadas en el ficticio condado de Yoknapatawpha, basado en el condado de Lafayette, en Mississippi, donde 茅l residi贸 la mayor parte de su vida. Faulkner es considerado universalmente como uno de los m谩s importantes creadores de la literatura estadounidense en general y de la literatura sure帽a en particular, y como uno de los principales modernistas estadounidenses de la d茅cada de 1930, siguiendo la tradici贸n experimental de escritores europeos como James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust y Franz Kafka y conocido por su uso de t茅cnicas literarias innovadoras, como el mon贸logo interior, la inclusi贸n de m煤ltiples narradores o puntos de vista y los saltos en el tiempo dentro de la narraci贸n. Su influencia es notoria en la generaci贸n de escritores hispanoamericanos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Garc铆a M谩rquez en su Vivir para contarla y Vargas Llosa en El pez en el agua admiten su influencia en la narrativa.
