Bøger af Sherwood Anderson

Praised by F. Scott Fitzgerald as Sherwood Anderson's finest work, this psychological novel recounts a middle-aged industrialist's rejection of his humdrum life and embrace of sex as a medium for self-realization.

Chosen by Eleanor Copenhaver Anderson before her death in 1985 to publish her husband's secret love letters, Anderson scholar Ray Lewis White has prepared a fascinating edition of these unique letters for the enjoyment of students and scholars of literature as well as for all readers who savour compelling and inspiring stories of loss and love.

"Winesburg, Ohio", Sherwood Anderson's masterpiece, is a set of interconnected short stories set in a small Ohio town. This edition also contains "The Triumph of the Egg: A Book of Impressions from American Life in Tales and Poems". Anderson has influenced generations of American writers from Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and John Steinbeck to John Updike and Joyce Carol Oates.

Sherwood Anderson's short stories, beautifully crafted and evocative of time and place, were hugely influential in their day. The title story in this collection, 'Death in the Woods', is widely regarded as a masterpiece - the narrator looks back at an incident in his childhood where an old woman dies in the cold - in life she was destined to feed those around her, after her death, he feeds from her too.
