Сарторис. Медведь. Осквернитель праха

The collection of selected works of the famous American writer William Faulkner includes the novels "Sartoris" (1929), "The Defiler of Ashes" (1948) and the story "The Bear" (1942). The novel "Sartoris" reveals the tragedy of the young generation of southerners who find themselves victims of the confrontation between the beautiful legend of the past and the reality of contemporary life. Raised under the spell of stories about the heroic past of their families, they are helpless when faced with reality. The story "The Bear" reveals the state of the human spirit in communion with nature. The author writes with bitterness about how nature is dying under the pressure of modern mechanized civilization. "The Defiler of Ashes" is a kind of detective story in which a white teenager rescues a black man who is falsely accused of murder.
