One of the most daring and complex works of 20th-century American literature<br/><br/>At its heart, The Sound and the Fury tells the story of the Compson family—a once-proud Southern dynasty now fallen into decay and dysfunction. The Compsons, grappling with the erosion of their wealth, morality, and familial bonds, embody the cultural and existential crisis of the postbellum South. The novel is divided into four sections, each offering a unique perspective that adds layers of meaning to the story. These perspectives, delivered in fragmented and nonlinear prose, reflect Faulkner’s innovative approach to time and consciousness, pushing the boundaries of narrative form.<br/><br/>William Faulkner (1897–1962) was one of the most important and influential writers of the 20th century. The Sound and the Fury, in particular, remains a testament to his daring vision and unparalleled craftsmanship, a novel that continues to challenge, inspire, and captivate readers across generations.<br/><br/>Il Disoriente<br/>A paperback series published by Intra.<br/>Global readability, Italian charm.
