As I Lay Dying

The death and burial of Addie Bundren is told by members of her family, as they cart the coffin to Jefferson, Mississippi, to bury her among her people. And as the intense desires, fears and rivalries of the family are revealed in the vernacular of the Deep South, Faulkner presents a portrait of extraordinary power - as epic as the Old Testament, as American as Huckleberry Finn.

Moartea si inmormantarea lui Addie Bundren este relatata de membrii familiei sale, in timp ce transporta sicriul catre Jefferson, Mississippi, pentru a o ingropa printre oamenii ei. Si pe masura ce dorintele intense, temerile si rivalitatile familiei sunt dezvaluite in limba populara din sudul adanc, Faulkner prezinta un portret de o putere extraordinara - la fel de epica ca Vechiul Testament, la fel de american ca Huckleberry Finn.
