Quentin Compson and Shreve, his Harvard room-mate, are obsessed by the tragic rise and fall of Thomas Sutpen. As a poor white boy, Sutpen was turned away from a plantation owner's mansion by a negro butler. From then on, he was determined to force his way into the upper echelons of Southern society. His relentless will ensures his ambitions are soon realised; land, marriage, children, his own troop to fight in the Civil War-but Sutpen returns from the conflict to find his estate in ruins and his family collapsing. Secrets from his own past threaten to ruin the lives of his children and destroy everything he has worked for.
William Faulkner (1897-1962), Premio Nobel de 1949, uno de los maestros indiscutibles de la literatura norteamericana, residió toda su vida en Oxford, Mississippi, su tierra natal, que le sirvió de modelo del condado de Yoknapatawpha. En el escenario mítico de esta región transcurren la mayor parte de sus obras, entre las que figuran El ruido y la furia, Las palmeras salvajes, ¡Absalón, Absalón!, Santuario y Sartoris. En esta colección se han publicado El oso, una magistral novela corta, y Relatos.
