"Bayard Sartoris returns from the battlefields of the Civil War and tries to build his family and his fortune."
"Bayard Sartoris returns from the battlefields of the Civil War and tries to build his family and his fortune."@en
"Set in Mississippi during the Civil war and Reconstruction, focuses on the Sartoris family, who with their code of personal responsibility and courage, stand for the best of the Old South's traditions. Meet Colonel Sartoris, the head of the family; his young son Bayard who finds an alternative to bloodshed; Ringo, a perceptive black child who is considered part of the family; independent, obstinate Cousin Drusilla who exchanges her dresses for a uniform, and Granny, the matriarch. -- Back cover."@en
"Set against the backdrop of the chaos of the Civil War, this is the magnificent story of the proud Sartoris family, who lived with violence in order to survive. Bayard Satoris found the wisdom to decide there was enough bloodshed & the courage to face the enemy."
""Detrás del ahumadero, Ringo y yo levantamos aquel verano un mapa viviente. Aunque Vicksburg no era más que un manojo de astillas de la pila de leña y el río sólo un canal escarbado en la apiñada tierra con la punta del azadón, aquello (río, ciudad y terreno) tenía vida, poseyendo incluso, en miniatura, la apreciable aunque pasiva obsti-nación con que la topografía supera a la artillería, y contra la cual la más brillante de las victorias y la más trágica de las derrotas no son sino el tumultuoso estrépito de un momento.""@es
"A slave-owning family, the Sartoris clan must navigate a changing society and the often murky moral circumstances arising from the end of the American Civil War. Comprised of seven short stories, The Unvanquished features characters present in many of author William Faulkner's other works, including Sartoris (Flags in the Dust) which was published nine years before and featured the Sartoris family at a later period in their history. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
