Description
¿¿¿¿ "Make your mistakes, take your chances, look silly, but keep on going." ¿¿¿¿
Thomas Wolfe's Of Time and the River is a monumental work of American literature-a sweeping, lyrical, and deeply human novel that captures the restless energy of youth, the ache of ambition, and the passage of time.
Serving as the sequel to Look Homeward, Angel, this semi-autobiographical epic continues the story of Eugene Gant, a young man leaving his Southern hometown to pursue knowledge, love, and fulfillment in the wider world. From Harvard to New York City, Wolfe paints a vivid portrait of America in the early 20th century-its dreams, struggles, and contradictions-through prose that surges with passion and poetry.
Through Eugene's journey, Wolfe explores themes of identity, loneliness, and the longing to belong, crafting a work that is both intensely personal and universally resonant. His sentences flow like music, his imagery bursts with life, and his vision of America is both grand and intimate.
A meditation on time, memory, and the eternal desire to find one's place in the world, Of Time and the River remains a cornerstone of 20th-century literature-a novel that captures the wild beauty and heartbreak of human existence.
