  • A Fable

    William Faulkner

    Mass Market Paperback (Signet Classics, Aug. 1, 1968)
    This novel won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 1955. An allegorical story of World War I, set in the trenches in France and dealing ostensibly with a mutiny in a French regiment, it was originally considered a sharp departure for Faulkner. Recently it has come to be recognized as one of his major works and an essential part of the Faulkner oeuvre. Faulkner himself fought in the war, and his descriptions of it "rise to magnificence," according to The New York Times, and include, in Malcolm Cowley's words, "some of the most powerful scenes he ever conceived."
  • Light in August

    William Faulkner

    Leather Bound (Easton Press, March 15, 1998)
    In a loose, unstructured modernist narrative style that draws from Christian allegory and oral storytelling, Faulkner explores themes of race, sex, class and religion in the American South. By focusing on characters that are misfits, outcasts, or are otherwise marginalized in their community, he portrays the clash of alienated individuals against a Puritanical, prejudiced rural society. In 1932, early reception of the novel was mixed, with some reviewers critical of Faulkner's style and subject matter. However, over time, the novel has come to be considered one of the most important literary works by Faulkner and one of the best English-language novels of the 20th century.

  • The Wild palms by William Faulkner

    William Faulkner

    Paperback (A Vintage Book, V-262, March 15, 1939)
    In this feverishly beautiful novel-originally titled If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem by Faulkner, and now published in the authoritative Library of America text-William Faulkner interweaves two narratives, each wholly absorbing in its own right, each subtly illuminating the other. In New Orleans in 1937, a man and a woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion, fleeing her husband and the temptations of respectability. In Mississippi ten years earlier, a convict sets forth across a flooded river, risking his own chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman. From these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation, survival and self-sacrifice, a novel in which elemental danger is juxtaposed wiht fatal injuries of the spirit. The Wild Palms is grandly inventive, heart-stopping in its prose, and suffused on every page with the physical presence of the country that Faulkner made his own.

  • A Fable

    William Faulkner

    eBook
    A Fable is an allegoric story based on the final days of Jesus Christ and is written by William Faulkner. The novel takes place during World War I most specifically in the trenches in France. A Fable stretches through a course of one week in which the main character is “Corporal Stephen”, whom narrates from his point of view in the trenches of France. William Faulkner personally puts into his novel his own experience in World War I. Faulkner is a veteran of World War I, so when reading upon his book he is giving actual facts of the conditions during an important war in world history. Corporal Stephen, the main character, resembles the most famous person in Christianity the lord Jesus Christ.A Fable is ultimately a very powerful novel about the lives that tried to change the course of history with the action of peace.The man himself never stood taller than five feet, six inches tall, but in the realm of American literature, William Faulkner is a giant. More than simply a renowned Mississippi writer, the Nobel Prize-winning novelist and short story writer is acclaimed throughout the world as one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers, one who transformed his “postage stamp” of native soil into an apocryphal setting in which he explored, articulated, and challenged “the old verities and truths of the heart.” During what is generally considered his period of greatest artistic achievement, from The Sound and the Fury in 1929 to Go Down, Moses in 1942, Faulkner accomplished in a little over a decade more artistically than most writers accomplish over a lifetime of writing. It is one of the more remarkable feats of American literature, how a young man who never graduated from high school, never received a college degree, living in a small town in the poorest state in the nation, all the while balancing a growing family of dependents and impending financial ruin, could during the Great Depression write a series of novels all set in the same small Southern county — novels that include As I Lay Dying, Light in August, and above all, Absalom, Absalom! — that would one day be recognized as among the greatest novels ever written by an American.
  • Faulkner's Unified Jujitsu

    Roy Faulkner

    eBook (AuthorHouse, June 6, 2016)
    As a martial artist, your ability to defend yourself should not only focus upon your skills to block, punch, and kick. It should also include the ability to observe your opponents behavior. For example, your opponents facial expression; body movement or actions; gestures made in motion; the way one blinks, smiles, or frowns; shifting of the body; tone of voice; constant movement; and posture are all key. These will help you determine what your opponent may be thinking or their intent. These are can all be red flags and should place you on the alert. As a martial artist, your awareness, separate from the conditioning of your body, should be greatly emphasized. These traits make a skilled practitioner. The ability to kick, punch, block, evade, and redirect come with the growth of these components.
