Description
“Look Inside Your House, Angel” by Thomas Wolfe is the first novel by one of the brightest voices of the “Lost Generation.”
In the short ten years allotted to him for творчість, Thomas Wolfe left a significant mark on 20th-century American literature. His first and most famous novel, “Look Inside Your House, Angel,” tells of the early years of the protagonist Eugene Gant’s life—from birth to the age of nineteen. Eugene is, in fact, Wolfe himself; but based on the author’s autobiographical memories, he created a fictional novel that became a sensation of its time. “Look Inside Your House, Angel” was published in 1929, after extensive revisions by Maxwell Perkins, the legendary editor who worked with other well-known representatives of the “Lost Generation”—Ernest Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald.
This is a story about emotional and intellectual growing up; about love and hatred, escapism and overcoming, misunderstanding and consolation, isolation and loneliness, the search for happiness and the attainment of freedom. Portraying the shifting inner world of his hero, Thomas Wolfe brilliantly plays with literary styles—no wonder he is constantly compared to William Faulkner and James Joyce.
Every moment is the product of forty thousand centuries. Fleeting days, buzzing like flies, rush into nothingness—and each moment is a window opened to all times.
Here—one such moment.
