Format : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-931082-03-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Écrivains américains -- 20e siècle ; États du Sud (États-Unis) -- Moeurs et coutumes -- Romans, nouvelles, etc. ; Littérature américaine -- 20e siècle ; Roman américain -- 20e siècle Index. décimale : F Fiction Résumé : "In The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1940), one of the most extraordinary debuts in modern American literature, an enigmatic deaf-mute draws out the confessions of an itinerant worker, a young girl, a doctor, and a widowed cafe proprietor. The disfiguring violence of desire is explored with shocking intensity in two shorter works, Reflections in a Golden Eye (1941), a tale of murder and madness at an army base, and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1943), a grotesquely imaginative exploration of love's outer boundaries. The Member of the Wedding (1946), thought by many to be her masterpiece, hauntingly depicts a young girl's fascination with her brother's wedding. In 12-year-old Frankie Addams, confused, easily wounded, yet determined to survive, McCullers created her most indelible protagonist. Clock Without Hands (1960), her final novel, was completed against great odds in the midst of tremendous physical suffering. Set against the background of court-ordered school integration, it contains some of McCullers' most forceful social criticism." -- Résumé de l'éditeur Note de contenu : "The heart is a lonely hunter" -- "Reflections in a golden eye" -- "The ballad of the Sad café" -- "The member of the wedding" -- "Clock without hands" Complete novels [texte imprimé] / Carson McCullers (1917-1967), Auteur . - New York (États-Unis) : Library of America, 2001 . - 827 p. ; 21 cm. - (Literary classics of the United States; 128) .

Complete novels / Eudora Welty

Public ISBD Titre : Complete novels Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Eudora Welty, Auteur ; Richard Ford, Editeur scientifique ; Michael Kreyling, Editeur scientifique Editeur : New York [États-Unis] : Library of America Année de publication : 1998 Collection : Library of America num. 101 Importance : 1009 p. Présentation : ill., jacquette ill. Format : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-883011-54-3 Note générale : The optimists's daughter: Pulitzer Prize, 1973 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Écrivains américains -- 20e siècle ; États du Sud (États-Unis) -- Moeurs et coutumes -- Romans, nouvelles, etc. ; Littérature américaine -- 20e siècle ; Roman américain -- 20e siècle Index. décimale : F Fiction Résumé : "A collection of fiction stories by Eudora Welty that portray life in the southern Mississippi area." "In a career spanning five decades, Eudora Welty has chronicled her Mississippi with a depth and intensity matched only by William Faulkner. Here for the first time in one volume, is all of her longer fiction. The 'Robber Bridegroom, ' legendary figures from Mississippi's past mingle with Welty's own imaginings in an exuberant unreality set along the Natchez Trace. The richly textured 'Delta Wedding' vividly portrays the complexities of family relationships set against the backdrop of rural Mississippi in the 1920s. In 'The Ponder Heart' Edna Earle Ponder's unrestrained and delightfully absurd monologue shows Welty's humor at its idiomatic best. The monumental 'Losing Battles, ' composed over fifteen years, brings Welty's imaginative gifts to the largest canvas of her career, rendering a Depression-era family reunion with mythic scope and ebullient comic vigor. 'The Optimist's Daughter, ' a taut and moving story of a woman coming to terms with her father's death, won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1972 ..." "One of the most original, subtle and magical of American writers. Her prose is incandescent and her vision supremely humane." -- Joyce Carol Oates Note de contenu : Réunit: The robber bridegroom; Delta wedding; The ponder heart; Losing battles; The optimist's daughter Complete novels [texte imprimé] / Eudora Welty, Auteur ; Richard Ford, Editeur scientifique ; Michael Kreyling, Editeur scientifique . - New York (États-Unis) : Library of America, 1998 . - 1009 p. : ill., jacquette ill. ; 21 cm. - (Library of America; 101) .
