Sinossi

The unforgettable tale of an American soldier’s return home from WWI by the Nobel Prize–winning author of The Sound and the Fury.Lt. Donald Mahon served as a fighter pilot in the Great War. After suffering a terrible head injury, he was released from the hospital with lost memories and a disfiguring scar. Now, back in America, he makes his way home to Georgia with the help of a fellow veteran and a young war widow. But as his health continues to decline, what home will be left for him? First published in 1926, William Faulkner’s debut novel explores the horrors of World War I, the interior lives of veterans, and the fickle nature of small-town American life. It “tells an old story—as old as the Greeks—and older—as old as war and its folly” (The New York Times).

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" by Shirley Jackson tells the story of the Blackwood sisters, Constance and Merricat, who live in isolation with their Uncle Julian after the rest of their family died from arsenic poisoning. The villagers, believing Constance to be the killer, treat them with hostility, leaving the sisters to retreat further into their secluded world. Merricat, the narrator, employs magical thinking to protect herself and her sister from the outside world, while Constance seeks solace in the domestic routine of caring for the home. Their lives are disrupted when their cousin, Charles, arrives, triggering a series of events that threaten the sisters' carefully constructed reality. The novel explores themes of isolation, persecution, family dynamics, and the unreliable nature of perception, delving into the dark corners of the human psyche and the unsettling undercurrents of small-town life.

    The Institutes of Justinian is a component of the Corpus Juris Civilis, the sixth-century codification of Roman law ordered by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. It is largely based upon the Institutes of Gaius, a Roman jurist of the second century A.D. The other parts of the Corpus Juris Civilis are the Digest, the Codex Justinianus, and the Novellae Constitutiones ("New Constitutions" or "Novels"). Justinian's Institutes was one part of his effort to codify Roman law and to reform legal education, of which the Digest also was a part. Whereas the Digest was to be used by advanced law students, Justinian's Institutes was to be a textbook for new students. The Institutes of Justinian is arranged much like Gaius's work, being divided into three books covering "persons," "things,", and "actions." Unlike the Digest, the extracts do not provide inscriptions indicating from whom the original material was taken.
