Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. "John Williams attended a local junior college for a year but dropped out after failing freshman English, and then worked in media before joining the war effort in early 1942 by enlisting in the United States Army Air Force. He spent two and a half years as a sergeant in India, China, and Burma. D…uring his enlistment in Calcutta, he wrote pages of a novel, which later became Nothing But the Night, published in 1948 by Swallow Press and later reissued by New York Review Books Classics." wikipedia His third novel, Stoner, detailing the tragic life of a University of Missouri English assistant professor, was published by Viking Press in 1965. It was reissued in 2005 by NYRB Classics to widespread critical acclaim; THIS IS THAT PUBLICATION. William Stoner: The novel's main character is a farm boy turned English professor. He uses his love of literature to deal with his unfulfilling personal life. Edith Bostwick Stoner: Stoner's wife, a neurotic woman, is from a strict and sheltered upbringing. Stoner falls in love upon first meeting her, but soon realizes that she is bitter and has been so long before they were married. Grace Stoner: Stoner and Edith's only child. Throughout the course of the novel, Edith exerts considerable control over the minutiae of Grace's life, often as a pseudo punishment for Stoner. Gordon Finch: Stoner's colleague and only real ally and friend. He has known Stoner since their graduate school days and becomes the dean of the college of Arts and Sciences. His affable and outgoing demeanor contrasts with that of Stoner. He achieves the rank of captain during World War I and introduces Stoner to Edith at the university's reception honoring returning veterans. David Masters: Stoner and Finch's friend from graduate school. He is killed in action during World War I, but he retains a presence in Stoner's mind throughout the rest of his life. Archer Sloane: Stoner's teacher and mentor during his time at the university as a student. He inspires Stoner to leave agriculture behind and begin studying English literature. He is old and ailing by the time Stoner is hired at the university. Hollis Lomax: Sloane's replacement at the university who eventually sees Stoner as his enemy. Stoner and Lomax do not see eye-to-eye in their work life and do not speak to each other following Walker's disciplinary action. Charles Walker: Lomax's crippled mentee, he is an arrogant and duplicitous young man who uses rhetorical flourish to mask his scholarly ineptitude. Katherine Driscoll: A younger graduate student at the university. She has an affair with Stoner. University politics and circumstance prevent them from continuing the relationship. Thomas Eakins cover art (illustrator).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Discover an American masterpiece. This unassuming story about the life of a quiet English professor has earned the admiration of readers all over the globe.William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to stu…dy agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a proper family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.John Williams s luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.
