This unassuming story about the life of a quiet English professor has earned the admiration of readers all over the globe.</strong></p><p>William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholars life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a proper family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.</p><p>John Williamss luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.</p>...663843Stoner253328https://www.gandhi.com.mx/stoner-8/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1286255/df609c53-9b60-46c6-ab01-aeeced5d9aef.jpg?v=638337788504230000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20109781590173930_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_<p><strong>Discover an American masterpiece.
