Omschrijving

Thomas Wolfe's 1929 semi-autobiographical novel is a rich and detailed tapestry of human experience, chronicling the coming-of-age of Eugene Gant in the early 20th century.

The narrative begins with Eugene's birth into a tumultuous family in the fictional town of Altamont, a place defined by his father's alcoholism and his mother's obsession with property acquisition. As a shy and awkward boy, Eugene grapples with a turbulent home life and the relentless torment of his siblings, finding solace only in literature. The novel follows his journey through different settings-the university at Pulpit Hill, where his romantic notions are shattered by peer cruelty, and the port city of Norfolk, where he witnesses poverty and moral ambiguity. His experiences ultimately lead him to forsake conventional life in favor of a solitary existence devoted to literary pursuits.
