This edition presents William Faulkner's ambitious allegorical novel, which reimagines the events of World War I through a complex narrative of mutiny and pacifism. Originally published in 1954, the work earned both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, standing as a significant exploration of human morality and the cyclical nature of conflict. This volume offers readers a profound look at one of the most challenging and structurally intricate texts in the American literary canon.
