Title: The sound and the fury
Description: The epic and tragic story of the Compson family, three generations of Southern aristocrats on the brink of ruin.

Unprecedented for its time, Faulkner weaves a tale spanning nearly two decades and told from multiple points of view in a style all its own. Featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature—the beautiful and rebellious Caddy; the haunted and neurotic Quentin; the brutal and cynical Jason; and Dilsey, the matriarchal servant who observes them all—this novel is a heartrending investigation of family, legacy, social change, and the decline of a once powerful aristocratic dynasty.
