The Sound and the Fury

The key novel by William Faulkner.

William Faulkner is one of the leading American authors of the first half of the 20th century, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949.

The book is released in the series “Exclusive Classics (Best)”—hardcover, quality paper, a laced binding (lays?), and signature design.

“Sound and Fury” is Faulkner’s central work, repeatedly adapted for film and included by Time magazine in its list of the 100 best English-language novels. It is a book that debates about which continue even today. Before the reader is formally bold, extremely virtuoso narration arranged so that the reader doesn’t immediately know where to orient themselves. One of the author’s most important artistic choices is to give a voice, in one part, to a hero with intellectual disabilities, and in another—to his brother, whose consciousness is gradually falling apart. The text may seem difficult: in places there is almost no punctuation, and some sentences break off. However, it is precisely this manner that allows one to feel the characters’ inner world more deeply and to seem as if one has stepped inside their experiences, creating a truly astonishing impression.
