Description
Appointment in Samarra, a masterpiece of American literature, is now available in this beautiful Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition. John O'Hara's iconic novel offers an unflinching look at the dark side of the American dream.
In December 1930, the social elite of Gibbsville, Pennsylvania, are abuzz with parties and dances, but beneath the surface, tensions simmer. Julian English's reckless decision sets off a chain reaction that exposes the flaws in his privileged world. Brimming with wealth and privilege, O'Hara's novel is a poignant exploration of jealousy, infidelity, and the consequences of one's actions.
Published by Penguin, this deluxe edition features an introduction and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations. With over 1,700 titles in its repertoire, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
