In 1949, the American writer William Faulkner (1897-1962) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. By that time, his favorite brainchild, the novel "Noise and Fury" (1929), published twenty years earlier, had gained a reputation as a modern classic; but to this day, he impresses readers with the depth of the author's idea and the sophistication of the art form. This parable about finding meaning in a meaningless world immerses the reader in the chaos of the human soul, almost palpably translated from the pages of the novel. Through the prism of time, vague memories and lost illusions, the tragedy of the Compson family, the heirs of the disappearing aristocracy of the American South, is revealed. Each of the four parts of the work represents a unique view of the world of one of the characters, in which the past and present are intertwined, gathering into a complex mosaic of human experiences and endlessly addressing the reader to the reflections of Shakespeare's Macbeth, to whom the novel owes its name: "Life. ... "a madman's story, full of rage and noise, devoid of meaning." It is published in a brilliant translation by Hosea Soroka.
