This vintage edition from 1959 and 1958 brings together two seminal works by William Faulkner, one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century and a towering figure in American literature. “Light in August” (1932) is a powerful exploration of racial tensions, guilt, and the search for identity in the American South, centering on the tragic fate of Joe Christmas, a man of ambiguous racial heritage. “Sanctuary” (1931), Faulkner’s harrowing tale of violence and corruption, was initially greeted with outrage for its frank depictions but is now recognized as a critical work in the author’s canon. These novels showcase Faulkner’s innovative narrative techniques, his poetic prose, and his unflinching examination of the moral complexities of the human condition. Despite the absence of dust jackets, this well-preserved set offers collectors a window into Faulkner’s profound artistic vision and his enduring influence on modern fiction.
