Synopsis "Luz de Agosto (in Spanish)"

Luz de agosto recoge dos historias situadas en el mítico condado de Yoknapatawpha, centro gravitacional del universo faulkneriano. Por un lado, la búsqueda que la cándida e intrépida joven blanca Lena Grove lleva a cabo para encontrar al padre de su hijo no nacido. Por el otro, la huida de Joe Christmas del seno de su familia adoptiva para encontrar, lejos de su influjo, las raíces que él, un hombre blanco, sospecha que van hasta el África negra. Las dos narraciones, si bien situadas en tiempos distintos, están vinculadas por el terrible y sin embargo bello retrato que ambos, como una sola, ofrecen de la naturaleza humana.

William Faulkner (1897-1962) was an American writer noted for his contribution to modernist literature and the Southern Gothic genre. He is known for his innovative use of stream of consciousness, fragmented narratives, and exploration of the Southern United States. Among his most important works are The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Absalom, Absalom! (1936), and Light in August (1932).

His literature, laden with symbolism and structural complexity, portrays the decay of the American South and its racial and social conflicts. In 1949, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, establishing himself as one of the most influential figures in 20th-century narrative. He also won two Pulitzer Prizes for A Fable (1954) and The Reivers (1962).
