The Sound and the Fury

"The Sound and the Fury" — one of the most celebrated books of the 20th century, included in the list of the 100 best English-language novels according to Time magazine. At the center of the plot is the tragic story... of the once wealthy and influential southern family, the Compsons, now descending into decline. The events of the novel are depicted through the perspectives of four different characters, each revealing family dramas, betrayals, and internal conflicts in their own way. Realism, traditional for southern prose, is framed by the author's endless stylistic innovations, the most important of which is, for almost the first time since Shakespeare's "King Lear", the use of the "stream of consciousness" technique in English-language literature. In the novel, William Faulkner explores themes of loss, family disintegration, the destruction of traditions, and the search for meaning in chaos.
