## Overview

Snopes: A Trilogy compiles William Faulkner’s three seminal novels—The Hamlet, The Town, and The Mansion—into a single beautifully repackaged hardcover volume.

Ideal for readers seeking a blend of cultural depth, compelling storytelling, and classic American literature.

## Description

From the Modern Library’s new set of beautifully repackaged hardcover classics by William Faulkner—also available are As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom!, and Selected Short Stories Here, published in a single volume as he always hoped they would be, are the three novels that comprise William Faulkner’s famous Snopes trilogy, a saga that stands as perhaps the greatest feat of this celebrated author’s incomparable imagination. The Hamlet, the first book of the series chronicling the advent and rise of the grasping Snopes family in mythical Yoknapatawpha County, is a work that Cleanth Brooks called “one of the richest novels in the Faulkner canon.” It recounts how the wily, cunning Flem Snopes dominates the rural community of Frenchman’s Bend—and claims the voluptuous Eula Varner as his bride. The Town, the central novel, records Flem’s ruthless struggle to take over the county seat of Jefferson, Mississippi. Finally, The Mansion tells of Mink Snopes, whose archaic sense of honor brings about the downfall of his cousin Flem. “For all his concerns with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man,” noted Ralph Ellison. “Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for the greatness of our classics.”

Review: The Snopes Trilogy - read it - - Read them, read them all. There is a reason the man got the Nobel Prize for Literature. If you sat under the kitchen table as a small child and quietly listened to your Georgia grandmother talk to her women friends, you will be at home immediately, but it doesn't matter. If you are a human being you will recognize humans in all their complexity, confusion, ambition and self-delusion. Faulkner can be astonishingly laugh-out-loud funny, relentlessly compassionate, and as ruthless an observer as any primatologist on the veldt. Read these books because they are rollicking good stories about interesting people in a time and place of tremendous change, and read them because you will lift your head from the last page a more thoughtful and better person, as well as someone who has bathed and been refreshed in some of the finest English prose ever written.
Review: Treat yourself to a trio - These books might be the most accesible Faulkner. They add structure, dimension, and color to the reality of his world of Yoknapataphwa county. The wealth of imagery, metaphor and symbolism is there for those who want it just beneath the surface of an engaging, at times laugh out loud saga of a family of unforgettable characters within a community of equally memorable characters. Through this portal, one can enter Faulkner's universe, get a feel for his style and an appetite for his work to proceed with momentum to his more complex books. The size of the book itself, with the 3 novels in one cover, might intimidate some and steer them away. The weight of 3 novels together can be uncomfotable during exended reading. But the text offers the trilogy to be read in succession - the story compels one to do so, and draws one back to do so repeatedly. Great work from a great writer - a real treat and special component for the library of any reader.

Read them, read them all. There is a reason the man got the Nobel Prize for Literature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Civic philosophy
*by P***R on June 26, 2015*

This is classic reading, but difficult to stay with. It's like fifty or eighty years of newspaper journals from one county in Mississippi, with memories from the Civil War and action until late 1940s. If you like serials, you'll love it. If you like civic philosophy, you'll love it. I don't know how many statements respecting personal liberty are in the three books. Two ideas occurred to me, perhaps from the combination of the book and my own experience. First, a woman does not care where the facts came from; she just wants to know the facts. Second, behind every great woman there's a person trying to be a man. I can't find references for these ideas, so may have read them into Faulkner's writing. However, this direct quote represents one character. ". . . every Snopes will make it his private and personal aim to have the whole world recognize him as THE son of a bitch's son of a bitch." It could be Flem, but I think it's Mink. What do you think? BTW. I wonder if Falkner wrote Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo, and so on (caps to give a hint).
