    • Résumé :
      'Burns throughout with a fierce indignation against cruelty, stupidity and prejudice ... a great book' Spectator A landmark in American fiction, Light in August explores Faulkner's central theme: the nature of evil. In this work, written during his brilliant mature period, Joe Christmas - a man doomed, deracinated and alone wanders the Deep South of the United States in search of an identity, and a place in society. After killing his perverted God-fearing lover, it becomes inevitable that he is pursued by a lynch-hungry mob. Yet after the sacrifice there is new life, a determined ray of light in Faulkner's complex and tragic world. 'One of the great figures of international modernist experiment - a writer with the range, capacities, and formal preoccupations we associate with Joyce, Proust or Virginia Woolf, an experimenter, a symbolist, a witness to modern exile' Malcolm Bradbury

      Biographie:
      Born in 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi, William Faulkner was the son of a family proud of their prominent role in the history of the south. He grew up in Oxford, Mississippi, and left high school at fifteen to work in his grandfather's bank. Rejected by the US military in 1915, he joined the Canadian flyers with the RAF, but was still in training when the war ended. Returning home he studied at the University of Mississippi and visited Europe briefly in 1925. His first poem was published in The New Republic in 1919. His first book of verse and early novels followed, but his major work began with the publication of The Sound and the Fury in 1929. As I Lay Dying (1930), Sanctuary (1931), Light in August (1932), Absalom, Absalom! (1936) and The Wild Palms (1939) are the major works of his great creative period leading up to Intruder in the Dust (1948). During the 1930s, he worked in Hollywood on film scripts, notably The Blue Dahlia, co-written with Raymond Chandler. Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950 and the Pulitzer Prize for The Reivers just before his death in 1962.
