Tarkington Booth

    Newton Tarkington war ein amerikanischer Romanautor und Dramatiker, der einst als Amerikas größter lebender Autor gefeiert wurde. Sein Werk fing geschickt das Wesen der amerikanischen Gesellschaft und ihre Veränderungen ein, wobei er seinen Erzählungen oft einen nostalgischen Ton und sorgfältig ausgearbeitete Charaktere verlieh. Tarkingtons literarisches Können lag in seiner Fähigkeit, die Tiefen menschlicher Beziehungen und gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche mit sprachlicher Grazie und erzählerischem Geschick zu erforschen, was seinen Ruf als herausragende Stimme in der amerikanischen Literatur des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts festigte.

      Winner of the 1919 Pulitzer Prize, Booth Tarkington's The Magnificent Ambersons is a grand historical drama and social history of the United States that follows the story of the Amberson family's financial decline at the start of the Industrial Age. Once upon a time in a small--but upscale--Indianapolis town, an American family built a dynasty. For generations, the Ambersons stood unchallenged as the most prominent and powerful family in the region until the turn of the century and the coming of the industrialists. The Ambersons, now centered on the patriarch's grandson, George, enter a previously unheard of time in which their family name holds little value. Unable or perhaps unwilling to change, George experiences first hand why doing things is better than simply being things. Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of The Magnificent Ambersons is a classic of American literature, reimagined for modern readers.
