“The Magnificent Ambersons” is one of the most famous American novels of the early XX century, awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the story of the collapse of a rich family, selfless love and cruel arrogance.
The main character of the book is George Amberson, the last offspring of a powerful family, a selfish, spoiled young man who is ready to sacrifice his pride the feelings of the closest people. However, its fall is coming: the venerable world of elegant mansions, horse-drawn carriages and wealthy landowners is a thing of the past, giving way to apartment buildings, cars and cunning businessmen. Only love remains indifferent to the change of times, only she is able to save the lost "magnificence" George Amberson.
Booth Tarkington's novel The Magnificent Ambersons, published in 1918, was enthusiastically received by readers and critics and subsequently filmed three times (the most famous film adaptation was made by Orson Welles in 1942).
