Look Homeward, Angel

The autobiographical novel Look Homeward, Angel, published in 1929, is an amazing kaleidoscope of bright memories by Thomas Wolfe about his childhood and youth: about his homeland – the city of Asheville, North Carolina, which is concealed in the text behind the fictional Altamont; about the time of the union and disintegration of the author's family and the complicated relationships among its members; about the first steps of a person in a vast and frightening world.
