    One of the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die A Le Monde 100 Books of the Century book Recognized as a Great American Novel by The Atlantic  
    … occasionally beautiful, frequently wrenching, and thoroughly destabilizing—a tale told by a genius, signifying, somehow … everything. — Megan Garber for The Atlantic  
    Set in Jefferson, Mississippi, The Sound and the Fury follows the Compson family. Over the course of four different narratives—three from the perspective of a different Compson brother, one from a third-person omniscient point of view—the story maps the family's decline from Southern aristocracy to tragedy. 
    Originally published in 1929, William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury was the author's fourth novel. Though not initially successful, the novel has since been recognized as one of Faulkner's best works, and one of the best works of Southern literature in literary history, as well as instrumental in the development of the stream-of-consciousness literary technique. Faulkner would go on to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949.   
    This new audio edition of the modernist Southern Gothic classic is narrated by Audie Award winner Pete Cross.

    Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
    SYNDICALISM OR CITIZENSHIP: "Is a railway porter a railway porter first and a man afterwards, or is he a man first and incidentally a railway porter?" That is the issue between this tawdrification of trade unionism which is called Syndicalism, and the ideals of that Great State, that great commonweal, towards which the constructive forces in our civilisation tend.
