Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Library Journal praised this edition of Sherwood Anderson's famed short stories as "the finest edition of this seminal work available." Reconstructed to be as close to the original text as possible, Winesburg, Ohio depicts the strange, secret lives of the inhabitants of a small town. In "Hands," Wing Biddlebaum tries to hide the tale of his banishment from a Pennsylvania town, a tale represented by his hands. In "Adventure," lonely Alice Hindman impulsively walks naked into the night rain. Threaded through the stories is the viewpoint of George Willard, the young newspaper reporter who, like his creator, stands witness to the dark and despairing dealings of a community of isolated people.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Sherwood Anderson's "Winesburg Ohio" is a poignant and evocative look behind the face of small town America early in this century. The message in this book is not "It's A Wonderful Life", but rather that "It's A Disappointing Life". The writing is eloquent yet simple and conveys the quiet yearnings of the human soul that we all feel from time to time. There is an air of melancholy to the book as the inhabitants are shown to be almost uniformly incapable of expressing their deepest longings, as their dreams are at first deferred, then sadly and ultimately denied. If ever a town needed Jimmy Stewart this is it. Along with James Joyce's "The Dubliners"(1914), and Jean Toomer's "Cane"(1923), "Winesburg Ohio" (1919) forms a trilogy of beautifully written short stories/novellas about a particular city or region. A modern day equivalent would be "Drown", Junot Diaz's stories of Dominicans in the Dominican Republic and New York. And while, Joyce, Toomer, and Diaz are more innovative with language and form than Anderson, all four give revealing character studies of the inhabitants as they go about their daily, ordinary lives, and make you reflect on your own hopes, dreams, and realities.

se que debo volver a leer esta serie de cuentos entrelazados de nuevo y de nuevo, como se que debo volver sobre el camino andado a ver que se me ha perdido. este libro, lleno de pequenas historias y de maniaticos simpaticos que lo rodean, muestra sin embargo una bella inocencia y una bella prosa que hace a uno sentirse bien. el joven narrador anda a traves del pueblo y al final parte lleno de historias a hacer la suya propia. por favor no se lo pierdan es buenisimo LUIS MENDEZ

three, four, five times. maybe more. "winesburg, ohio" is a transcendent reading experience. the equivalent, perhaps, of peering through a magnificent kaleidoscope and watching the colors and patterns turn one way, then the other. by turns funny, sad, but mostly tragic, anderson takes us on a guided tour of a small mid-western town. each vignette, weighing in at merely ten pages apiece, is a jewel of understatement. the language, simple and poetic, is a dream. beyond a dream. and it packs a heartache as real as anything you'll find in a book 5 times its size. the real marvel, however, is when you flip to the beginning and start all over again.

Great Example of Revolt Against the Village
