معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني

You Can't Go Home Again is a novel by Thomas Wolfe published posthumously in 1940. The novel tells the story of George Webber, a fledgling author, who writes a book that makes frequent references to his home town of Libya Hill. The book is a national success but the residents of the town, unhappy with what they view as Webber's distorted depiction of them, send the author menacing letters and death threats. (Wikipedia)

نبذة عن المؤلف

Thomas Wolfe, born on October 3, 1900, in Asheville, North Carolina, remains one of America's most enigmatic literary figures. Known for his sprawling, autobiographical novels and poetic prose, Wolfe captured the essence of early 20th-century America with an intensity that continues to resonate. His works often explored themes of personal ambition, familial conflict, and the quest for identity, reflecting his own tumultuous life.Wolfe's literary journey began at the University of North Carolina and continued at Harvard, where he studied playwriting. However, it was his transition to novel writing that cemented his place in literary history. His unique style, characterized by its lyrical and expansive nature, broke conventional narrative forms and influenced a generation of writers, including Jack Kerouac and Ray Bradbury.Despite his literary acclaim, Wolfe's life was not without controversy. His intense relationship with editor Maxwell Perkins at Scribner's was both a source of creative inspiration and professional tension. Perkins' heavy-handed editing of Wolfe's manuscripts led to a public and bitter fallout, highlighting the often fraught relationship between author and editor.Wolfe's work was revolutionary in its exploration of the American experience, blending personal narrative with broader societal observations. His ability to capture the zeitgeist of his era, combined with his innovative narrative techniques, has left an indelible mark on American literature. Wolfe's untimely death at the age of 37 from tuberculosis cut short a promising career, but his legacy endures, offering modern readers a profound glimpse into the complexities of human existence and the American spirit.
