They are proud, reckless, and doomed. Young Bayard Sartoris returns from World War I, scarred by the death of his twin brother. He cannot settle down. He drives too fast. He drinks too much. He courts a woman he does not love and pushes away the one he does. He is trying to kill himself, slowly, without admitting it. Around him, the old order crumbles: his grandfather, old Bayard, tries to hold the family together; his great-aunt Virginia, the family matriarch, watches with bitter wisdom; and the town of Jefferson itself, newly modern, newly indifferent, waits for the Sartorises to fade away.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is Faulkner at his most elegiac and foundational: a novel about the burden of history, the impossibility of living up to the past, and the terrible beauty of a family that knows it is dying. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSartoris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is where Faulkner’s greatest creation—Yoknapatawpha County—was born.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished in 1929, Faulkner’s fourth novel and the first set in Yoknapatawpha County\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA shorter version was published in 1927 as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlags in the Dust\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSartoris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the revised edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduces the Sartoris family, the Compson family, and the town of Jefferson, all of which would reappear in Faulkner’s later masterpieces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in multiple formats:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback \u0026amp; Hardcover:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Beautifully designed print editions presenting the complete, unabridged text made to last.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEbook:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e DRM-free EPUB compatible with Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, and all major e-readers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAudiobook:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Professionally narrated, complete and unabridged, available on all major audiobook platforms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautifully crafted edition for your shelf, your device, or your ears—or the perfect gift for anyone who knows that the past is never dead.
