Description
Temple Book Description: The novels of William Faulkner, winner of the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature, which are today considered masterpieces not only of American literature but also of world literature, did not make much noise at first. However, while the publication of The Temple in 1931 caused Faulkner to become famous and his books were reprinted and sold well, it also attracted reaction and was confiscated in some cities on the grounds that it "degraded the spirit of the South". The reason why The Temple attracts so much attention is that it is almost a detective thriller and its unique style, as well as the striking characters: Popeye, one of the most grotesque characters created by Faulkner, the symbol of evil; Benbow, a well-intentioned but never-ending lawyer; Temple Drake, the college student daughter of a wealthy family who assumes the identity of a resistant victim: They all come together in this bloody story told in a cold-blooded manner. Drawing on many sources, from Freud to mythology, from American South stories to detective novels, Temple still gives chills to its readers today. A haunting story of the triumph of evil. The New York Times Full of bad luck, desire, obsession and despair... Los Angeles Times (From the Promotional Bulletin)
