In 1949, American writer William Faulkner (1897–1962) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. By that time, his beloved brainchild, The Sound and the Fury (1929), published twenty years earlier, had acquired a reputation as a modern classic; but to this day it amazes readers with the depth of the author’s conception and the sophistication of its artistic form. This parable about the search for meaning in a meaningless world immerses the reader in the chaos of the human soul, which is almost tangibly transmitted from the pages of the novel. Through the prism of time, vague memories and lost illusions, the tragedy of the Compson family, heirs to the disappearing aristocracy of the American South, is revealed. Each of the four parts of the work is a unique view of the world of one of the heroes, in which the past and the present are intertwined, gathering into a complex mosaic of human experiences and endlessly referring the reader to the thoughts of Shakespeare's Macbeth, to whom the novel owes its title: "Life... is a madman's tale, full of fury and noise, devoid of meaning." Published in a brilliant translation by Hosea Soroka.
