The Magnificent Ambersons (Annotated)($11.95Value)

Description

Includes a new introduction and biographical essay The Magnificent Ambersons is the second novel in Booth Tarkington’s loosely connected Growth trilogy. This tale of the gradual decline of a once prominent family in an unnamed midwestern city closely based on Indianapolis, Indiana, is the best known book in the trilogy, owing in large part to Orson Welles’ film adaptation. As with his other works, Tarkington’s view of society is seldom expressed overtly, manifesting itself instead in the outworking of the plot and the destinies of his characters.
