Роман, оказавший серьезное влияние на всю американскую литературу. Классика XX века. Глубокий Юг, каким видел, знал, любил и ненавидел его Фолкнер. Земля, где за тщательно побеленными фасадами старинных фермерских усадеб скрываются семейные тайны, кипят разрушительные страсти, ломаются судьбы и совершаются преступления… «Когда я умирала» — роман-одиссея о десяти днях жизни фермеров Бандренов, которые собрались на похороны матери семейства Адди. Уникальность произведения заключается в том, что в нем нет ни слова авторской речи.

"Když v předvečer narozenin vlezeš do postele levou nohou napřed, a než si lehneš, převrátíš polštář, pak se může stát cokoli," píše William Faulkner v kouzelném, rozmarném příběhu.

Una de las novelas más representativas del Premio Nobel estadounidense destaca en su monumental obra. Entre lo más notable de Faulkner se encuentran las novelas del «ciclo de Yoknapatawpha», que fungen como fábulas sobre la vida en el sur de EE. UU. y el destino humano. La historia comienza con la llegada de varios miembros de la familia Snopes a la aldea de Jefferson, precedidos por rumores de venganzas extrañas en las granjas. Gradualmente, los Snopes se apoderan del pueblo de manera insidiosa, sorprendiendo e impotentizando a sus habitantes, llevándolos hacia el fracaso, la humillación e incluso la muerte. Reseñas destacan la grandeza de Faulkner, como Juan Carlos Onetti, quien expresa que leerlo puede hacer sentir que es inútil seguir escribiendo. Rodrigo Fresán menciona que nadie vuelve a ser el mismo después de leerlo. Eudora Welty señala que el mundo ficticio de Faulkner, con su tragedia y belleza, está vivo y será habitado por los lectores del futuro. La narrativa ofrece una mirada irónica a la tragedia clásica y un comentario mordaz sobre las pretensiones del sur antebellum y su decadencia tras la guerra y la Reconstrucción, centrándose en la ascensión de la familia Snopes en un pequeño pueblo construido sobre las ruinas de una plantación.

William Faulkner's short story "The Bear" was first published in the May 9, 1942 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. The piece--considered one of the best short stories of the twentieth century--is a coming-of-age tale that weaves together themes of family, race, and the taming of the wilderness, as the young main character learns to hunt and track the huge bear known as Old Ben. "Be scared. You can't help that. But don't be afraid. Ain't nothing in the woods going to hurt you unless you corner it, or it smells that you are afraid." This short work is part of Applewood's "American Roots," series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America's most famous writers and thinkers.

Quella della decadenza e sventura dei Compson, una grande famiglia del Sud americano alle soglie della Depressione, è una storia torbida e labirintica, eppure straordinariamente romanzesca. La giovane Caddy, nel racconto dei suoi tre diversissimi fratelli, diventa presenza candida e rassicurante, sorella ingegnosa, madre snaturata che abbandona la figlia. Ma Benjy, Quentin e Jason sono troppo coinvoltii negli avvenimenti per riuscire a fare chiarezza fino in fondo, e solo Dilsey, la cuoca negra, si rivelerà in grado di snodare la matassa familiare.
