El Ruido y La Furia (the Sound and the Fury), Paperback

Descriere

La vida no es mas que una sombra... Una historia narrada por un necio, llena de ruido y furia, que nada significa. Macbeth, Shakespeare El ruido y la furia es una obra maestra de la literatura. Relata la degeneracion progresiva de la familia Compson, sus secretos y las relaciones de amor y odio que la sostienen y la destruyen. Por primera vez, William Faulkner introduce el monologo interior y revela los diferentes puntos de vista de sus personajes: Benjy, deficiente mental, castrado por sus propios parientes; Quentin, poseido por un amor incestuoso e incapaz de controlar los celos, y Jason, monstruo de maldad y sadismo. El libro se cierra con un apendice que descubrira al lector los entresijos de esta saga familiar de Jefferson, Mississippi, conectandola con otros personajes de Yoknapatawpha, territorio creado por Faulkner como marco de muchas de sus novelas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire. . . . I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.`` --from The Sound and the Fury The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character's voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner's masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
