This is the dazzlingly rich first novel from one of the most brilliant and mercurial voices of early twentieth-century, who was a major influence on writers including Hunter S. Thompson, Ray Bradbury, Philip Roth and the Beats.This new edition includes an introduction by Elizabeth Kostova, author of The Historian. Wolfe's second novel, Of Time and the River, continuing the story of Eugene Gant, is also now available in Penguin Classics.

Look Homeward, Angel Penguin Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
"Home, sweet home" - wie nah ist die Familie Gant zuweilen ihrem Glück! Wenn sich die Kinderschar vollzählig an der üppig gedeckten Tafel einfindet, könnte das häusliche Leben kaum inniger sein. Doch der Schein trügt. Hinter den Ritualen der Zusammengehörigkeit lauern Missgunst, Überdruss, tiefe Entzweiung: hier der Vater, ein jähzorniger Alkoholiker, dort die Mutter, eine berechnende Krämerseele, die das familiäre Idyll ihrer unstillbaren Raffgier opfert. Und in diese Verhältnisse wird der Romanheld Eugene Gant hineingeboren. Als Letztgeborener muss er sich von vornherein damit abfinden, unter seinesgleichen ein Fremdling zu sein ... The stunning, classic coming-of-age novel written by one of America's foremost Southern writers§§A legendary author on par with William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor, Thomas Wolfe published Look Homeward, Angel , his first novel, about a young man's burning desire to leave his small town and tumultuous family in search of a better life, in 1929. It gave the world proof of his genius and launched a powerful legacy.§The novel follows the trajectory of Eugene Gant, a brilliant and restless young man whose wanderlust and passion shape his adolescent years in rural North Carolina. Wolfe said that Look Homeward, Angel is "a book made out of my life," and his largely autobiographical story about the quest for a greater intellectual life has resonated with and influenced generations of readers, including some of today's most important novelists. Rich with lyrical prose and vivid characterizations, this twentieth-century American classic will capture the hearts and imaginations of every reader.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Ein amerikanisches Epos, das seinesgleichen sucht eine hymnische Daseinsfeier und das faszinierende Bekenntnis einer überschwänglichen, allumspannenden Künstlerseele. Thomas Wolfes "Von Zeit und Fluss" ist ein Herzensbuch für alle Suchenden und Sehnenden, ob jung oder alt, eine Meditation über die Geschicke des Menschenlebens über Bestand und Unbestand, Endlichkeit und Dauer.§Eugene, lebenshungrig und unerfahren, ist auf der Suche nach sich selbst, nach seinem Bestimmungsort in der Welt. In Harvard und im New York der Zwanzigerjahre sammelt er erste Erfahrungen, lernt zu lieben, zu erkennen, zu denken, sich von falschen Vorbildern loszusagen und sich dabei selbst treu zu bleiben. Bloß keine Erstarrung in Routinen alles in seiner reifenden Seele ist noch im Werden, in permanenter Umgestaltung. Der Held macht sich auf nach Paris, doch auch an diesem Sehnsuchtsort lässt ihn sein abenteuerliches Herz keine Ruhe finden. Was Eugene antreibt und was er sich über alle Wechselfälle des Lebens hinweg erhält, ist der Hunger nach Erkenntnis und sinnlichem Genuss. So folgen aus seiner Selbstsuche philosophisch und spirituell höchst anregende Reflexionen über das menschliche Dasein über Sein und Werden, Zeit und Fluss. The sequel to Thomas Wolfe's remarkable first novel, "Look Homeward, Angel", "Of Time and the Rive"r is one of the great classics of American literature. The book chronicles the maturing of Wolfe's autobiographical character, Eugene Gant, in his desperate search for fulfillment, making his way from small-town North Carolina to the wider world of Harvard University, New York City, and Europe. In a massive, ambitious, and boldly passionate novel, Wolfe examines the passing of time and the nature of the creative process, as Gant slowly but ecstatically embraces the urban life, recognizing it as a necessary ordeal for the birth of his creative genius as a writer.§The work of an exceptionally expressive writer of fertile imagination and startling emotional intensity, Of Time and the River illuminates universal truths about art and life, city and country, past and present. It is a novel that is majestic and enduring. As P. M. Jack observed in The New York Times, "It is a triumphant demonstration that Thomas Wolfe has the stamina to produce a magnificent epic of American life."
