Subtitled A Story of the Buried Life, the novel is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story that captures the tumultuous journey of its protagonist, Eugene Gant, as he navigates the complexities of family, identity, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Set in the fictional town of Altamont, North Carolina (based on Wolfes hometown of Asheville), the novel paints a vivid and deeply personal portrait of early 20th-century America. At its core, Look Homeward, Angel is a sprawling, lyrical exploration of Eugene Gants life from childhood to young adulthood. The novel delves into his relationships with his larger-than-life family, particularly his father, Oliver Gant, a stonecutter with a volatile temperament, and his mother, Eliza, a pragmatic and ambitious woman who runs a boarding house. Wolfes richly detailed prose brings the Gant family to life, capturing their passions, struggles, and contradictions with both tenderness and unflinching honesty. Through Eugenes eyes, readers witness the joys and sorrows of growing up in a family marked by both love and dysfunction. Wolfes writing is characterized by its poetic intensity and emotional depth. His descriptions of the American South, with its rolling hills, bustling towns, and vibrant characters, are both nostalgic and critical, reflecting a deep connection to his roots while also grappling with the limitations of small-town life. The novels episodic structure mirrors the fragmented nature of memory, as Eugene reflects on key moments that shaped his understanding of himself and the world around him. Themes of longing, ambition, and the search for identity permeate the narrative, as Eugene yearns to break free from the confines of his upbringing and discover his place in the wider world. One of the most striking aspects of Look Homeward, Angel is its autobiographical nature. Wolfe drew heavily from his own life, infusing the novel with a raw, almost confessional quality. This authenticity resonates with readers, making Eugenes struggles and triumphs feel deeply personal and universal. At the same time, the novels broader social and historical contextits depiction of post-World War I America, the tensions between tradition and modernity, and the impact of industrializationadds layers of complexity to the story. Despite its initial controversial reception in Wolfes hometown, where some residents recognized themselves in the characters, Look Homeward, Angel has since been celebrated as a masterpiece of American literature. Its influence can be seen in the works of later writers, such as Jack Kerouac and William Styron, who were inspired by Wolfes bold, expansive style and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience. Look Homeward, Angel is more than just a novel; it is a profound meditation on family, memory, and the eternal quest for self-discovery. Thomas Wolfes passionate, evocative prose and his unflinching portrayal of lifes joys and sorrows make this book a timeless classic, offering readers a deeply moving and unforgettable journey into the heart of America and the soul of one young man.</p>...9780369413031_Aegitaslibro_electonico_9780369413031_9780369413031Thomas WolfeInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/aegitas-epub-d2eae935-d606-47dc-8b54-4e5961b9bce7.epub2025-09-15T00:00:00+00:00Aegitas
