Giới thiệu tác giả
Booth Tarkington (1869–1946), an eminent American novelist and dramatist remembered for his critical and satirical depictions of the American Midwest, was a leading figure in the world of early 20th-century literature. Born Newton Booth Tarkington in Indianapolis, Indiana, he adopted the literary world through a blend of social commentary and deep insight into the human condition, which soon became the hallmark of his work. A two-time Pulitzer Prize recipient, Tarkington is perhaps best known for his novels 'The Magnificent Ambersons' and 'Alice Adams', which intricately explore the changing social landscape of America's burgeoning urban environments. 'Presenting Lily Mars' can be seen as a departure from his more prevalent societal critiques, offering instead a charming story of a small-town girl's dreams to succeed on the Broadway stage. This book reflects Tarkington's versatility and his ability to paint rich and lasting characters, capturing the reader's imagination with a blend of humor and earnestness. Throughout his career, Tarkington's writing displayed a unique blend of realism and romanticism, consequently influencing a generation of writers in the Midwest literary tradition.
