Description

William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! is a masterful exploration of power, legacy and the enduring impact of one man's actions. Set in 1830s Mississippi, the novel tells the story of Thomas Sutpen, who seeks to forge a dynasty through ruthless determination. A century later, the figure of Sutpen continues to haunt those around him, including Quentin Compson, whose obsession with his family's legacy is deeply intertwined with that of the Old South. This beautifully repackaged hardcover edition features the corrected text from 1986, under the direction of Faulkner expert Noel Polk, and a new Foreword by John Jeremiah Sullivan. This novel is widely regarded as one of Faulkner's most admired works, and its complex structure and powerful storytelling have made it a standout in the literary canon.
