THREE FAMOUS SHORT NOVELS

- Spotted Horses, Old Man, The Bear

Bag om THREE FAMOUS SHORT NOVELS

"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore." -William Faulkner These short works offer three different approaches to Faulkner, each representative of his work as a whole. Spotted Horses is a hilarious account of a horse auction, and pits the "cold practicality" of women against the boyish folly of men. Old Man is something of an adventure story. When a flood ravages the countryside of the lower Mississippi, a convict finds himself adrift with a pregnant woman. And The Bear, perhaps his best known shorter work, is the story of a boy's coming to terms wit the adult world. By learning how to hunt, the boy is taught the real meaning of pride, humility, and courage.
