As I Lay Dying

El papel es de buena calidad, también me gustó la textura. El tamaño de la letra es adecuado. Tiene muchos modismos por lo que es recomendable tener un conocimiento avanzado de inglés

I thought I had bought another stinker with this one such was the struggle with the first few chapters. But then I discovered "Spark notes" and separated out the characters and the voices putting flesh onto the bones of narratives. Lo and behold I was hooked and in I went - under the water of the flood, broken levee, drowned mules, escaped horses, broken legs, abused women and a corpse so stinky it had vultures following the trail. Always looking for the Great American Novel - Faulkner vies with Steinbeck and outdoes Fitzgerald and Hemingway.

No encontrábamos la edición en inglés y esta fue la solución. Libro tipo bolsillo pero con buena letra.

I read it several years ago. At that time, I approached it after having already read "The Sound and the Fury", "Sanctuary" and "The Unvanquished". Therefore I knew what I was choosing ... definitely not an easy and relaxing book ...Jointly with "The Sound and the Fury", "Light in August" and "Absalom, Absalom!", "As I Lay Dying" is commonly regarded as one of the pillars of his literary output.To sum it up is, in my opinion, impossible.From my standpoint, it is a book which transcends time, as the author himself wanted his works to be remembered, since (to cite the Paris review) "The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life."This "motion" is the journey towards Jefferson to bury Addie (still living at the beginning), a journey through ups and downs of the Bundren family, through life and death, through faith and uncertainty, through trust and betrayal, through hope and despair, through love and loss.Definitely one of the best book I had the chance to read

It's an authentic Vintage Classic books.
