Stoner
14.99 €
Poet and novelist John Williams (1922–1994), winner of the National Book Award, published only four novels, one of which was the celebrated Stoner, a book with an unusual and fortunate fate. First published fifty years ago, it unexpectedly found a second life in the 21st century. The reissue caused a tremendous stir in America. The world-famous Anna Gavalda took on the French translation, and Stoner, with the inscription on the cover "Read, Loved, and Translated by Anna Gavalda," conquered France. Translations into other languages soon followed, and the author achieved posthumous fame. A peasant boy, William Stoner, unexpectedly developed a passion for Shakespeare. Refusing to return to his parents' farm after college, he remained at the university to continue his studies and later to teach. All his decisions, actions, relationships with his family, with the woman he loves, and, ultimately, his entire fate are determined by his passionate love of literature. Hence Anna Gavalda's seemingly surprising confession: "Stoner—that's me."
