Beschreibung

Thomas Wolfe's trilogy of novels - 'Of Time and the River,' 'You Can't Go Home Again,' and 'Look Homeward, Angel' - provides a deep and emotional exploration of the human experience in early 20th century America. Through his intricate prose and vivid descriptions, Wolfe paints a rich portrait of small-town life, family dynamics, and the quest for self-discovery. His writing style is characterized by its lyrical beauty, introspective depth, and sprawling narratives that capture the essence of the American South. Wolfe's works are not only literary classics but also serve as valuable reflections on the human condition and the passage of time. His ability to evoke profound emotions and create unforgettable characters sets him apart as a master storyteller. Thomas Wolfe, known for his semi-autobiographical novels, drew inspiration from his own experiences growing up in the South and his struggles with identity and belonging. His keen observations of the world around him and his introspective nature shaped his writing, making it deeply personal and universally relatable. Wolfe's keen eye for detail and his gift for storytelling make his novels timeless treasures that continue to resonate with readers today. I highly recommend Thomas Wolfe's trilogy to readers who appreciate richly detailed narratives, complex characters, and profound reflections on life and human nature. His works offer a profound exploration of the human experience and leave a lasting impact on those who delve into his world of words.

Autorenportrait

Thomas Clayton Wolfe (19001938) was a prominent figure in American literature during the early 20th century. Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Wolfe's profoundly evocative style and his use of autobiographical fiction outlined the personal complexities of the human experience, often through the exploration of his own life. Wolfe's first novel, 'Look Homeward, Angel' (1929), instantaneously placed him in the spotlight. The semi-autobiographical novel drew heavily on his experiences growing up in the American South, showcasing his rich, descriptive prose and complex character development. It was followed by 'Of Time and the River' (1935), a sequel that continued the narrative of Eugene Gant, Wolfe's fictional alter-ego. The depth and ambition of his work did not end there; Wolfe's posthumously published novel 'You Can't Go Home Again' (1940) is often cited for the famous adage contained in its title, becoming a staple reflection on the irretrievable past and the changes wrought by time. Wolfe's literary style is marked by extensive, elaborate descriptions and a stream-of-consciousness approach, pushing the boundaries of contemporary fiction's form and structure. His influence extended beyond his early passing at the age of 37, touching the lives of subsequent generations of writers. Sadly, Wolfe's career was cut short by his untimely death from tuberculosis, but his contribution to American letters endures, emblematic of the struggle to capture the essence of life and time in prose.

Informationen zu E-Books

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
