Description: In-8°, pp. 421, frontespizio a colori di George Salter, tela editoriale con titolo al dorso e al piatto superiore. Manca la sovraccop. Prima edizione. William Cuthbert Faulkner, nato Falkner (New, 1897 Byhalia,1962), è stato uno scrittore, sceneggiatore, poeta e drammaturgo statunitense, vincitore del Premio nel 1949 e considerato uno dei più importanti romanzieri statunitensi, autore di opere spesso provocatorie e complesse. Le opere di William Faulkner sono caratterizzate da una scrittura densa di pathos e di grande spessore psicologico, da periodi lunghi e sinuosi e da una cura meticolosa nella scelta dello stile e del linguaggio. Nella pratica stilistica, fu considerato il rivale di Ernest, che gli si oppone con il suo stile conciso e minimalista. È stato ritenuto forse l'unico vero scrittore modernista statunitense degli anni: Faulkner si allaccia alla tradizione sperimentale di scrittori europei quali James, Virginia, e Marcel, ed è noto per l'uso di strumenti espressivi innovativi: il flusso, narrazioni elaborate da punti di vista multipli e salti temporali nella cronologia del racconto.

Dust jacket art by George Salter. Original black cloth, faded spine lettering. The Hamlet, the first novel of Faulkner's Snopes trilogy, is both an ironic take on classical tragedy and a mordant commentary on the grand pretensions of the antebellum South and the depths of its decay in the aftermath of war and Reconstruction.

Description: First editions of each novel in Faulkner's acclaimed Snopes Trilogy. Octavo, 3 volumes, original cloth. Each are near fine in very good to near fine dust jackets. A sharp set. The Hamlet, the first book of the series chronicles the advent and rise of the grasping Snopes family in mythical Yoknapatawpha County, is a work that Cleanth Brooks called "one of the richest novels in the Faulkner canon." It recounts how the wily, cunning Flem Snopes dominates the rural community of Frenchmans Bend- and claims the voluptuous Eula Varner as his bride. The Town, the second novel, records Flems ruthless struggle to take over the county seat of Jefferson, Mississippi. Finally, the Mansion tells of Mink Snopes, whose archaic sense of honor brings about the downfall of his cousin Flem. "For all his concerns with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man," noted Ralph Ellison. "Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for the greatness of our classics." Uncommon in this condition.
