  • "The intertwined stories of two pairs of lovers, which relate their desperate, futile attempts to escape poverty and decadence."@en
  • "In this feverishly beautiful novel?originally titled If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem by Faulkner, and now published in the authoritative Library of America text?William Faulkner interweaves two narratives, each wholly absorbing in its own right, each subtly illuminating the other. In New Orleans in 1937, a man and a woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion, fleeing her husband and the temptations of respectability. In Mississippi ten years earlier, a convict sets forth across a flooded river, risking his own chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman.?From these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation, survival and self-sacrifice, a novel in which elemental danger is juxtaposed wiht fatal injuries of the spirit. The Wild Palms is grandly inventive, heart-stopping in its prose, and suffused on every page with the physical presence of the country that Faulkner made his own."@en
  • "In the rural wasteland of the South two inmates escape from a penitentiary, and two lovers, Harry Wilbourne and Charlotte Rittenmeyer, run away together. These two stories, played against each other, portray four desperate people trying to flee from poverty, decadence, and the violence of a world from which there is no escape."
  • ""An early Faulkner novel, originally published in 1939, embodying two interlocking stories of illicit love, a tragedy of men who deny the responsibilities of love, yet cannot do without it.""@en
  • "V románě čelného amerického spisovatele probíhají dvě dějová pásma ze současného života USA: tragický příběh lásky dvou mladých lidí a příběh trestance, kterému je za záchranu lidského života prodloužen trest. Mistrným způsobem jena těchto příbězích vylíčeno jaká tupost a krutost vládne ve společnosti, která neuznává základní lidské hodnoty."
  • "Comprised of two inter-woven stories, William Faulkner's If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem (also referred to as The Wild Palms) explores the nature of a relationship between a man and a woman. In The Wild Palms, the thoughtful and young Harry Wilbourne meets and falls in love with a married woman'the beautiful and passionate Charlotte Rittenmeyer. Though their relationship is under constant strain from Charlotte's marriage, their lack of money, and the couple's changing dynamic, the two remain fiercely loyal to one another during their brief time together. In The Old Man a convict tasked with rescue a pregnant woman who has become caught in a tree after the Mississippi River floods. As the convict rescues the woman, the pair are washed away downstream and must struggle back up-river together.
