In 1949, American writer William Faulkner (1897–1962) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. By then, his novel The Sound and the Fury (1929), published twenty years earlier, had acquired a reputation as a modern classic, but it still astounds readers with the depth of its authorial vision and the mastery 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, conveyed almost tangibly through the novel's pages. Through the prism of time, hazy memories, and lost illusions, the tragedy of the Compson family—heirs to the vanishing aristocracy of the American South—is revealed. Each of the four parts of the work presents a unique view of the world of one of the characters; past and 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."
