Thomas Mallon and Library of America invite readers to rediscover the Pulitzer Prize-winning novels of a classic American writer on the 150th anniversary of his birth Much in need of rediscovery today, Booth Tarkington was among the most beloved and widely read writers of his era. In such classic novels as The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams, both winners of the Pulitzer Prize, Tarkington displayed a mastery of realism and an astute, strikingly modern feel for psychology, capturing crucial transformations in our national life as they were manifested in changing social customs and in the very landscape itself, altered irrevocably by industrialization and environmental degradation. Out of Tarkington's prolific writings novelist and critic Thomas Mallon has selected three works that show Tarkington at his best. The Magnificent Ambersons, inspiration for Orsen Welles's classic film, is a tour de force study in egoism, depicting the fall from grace of George Minafer, wayward scion of the once-unassailable Amberson family. The titular protagonist of Alice Adams, portrayed unforgettably by Katharine Hepburn in what many consider her finest performance, is one of the great heroines of American literature: like Henry James's Isabel Archer and the young women of Edith Wharton's novels, she is a spirited, complicated young woman contronting the limits of her time and place with her own headlong desires. These novels are joined here by the story collection In the Arena: Tales from Political Life, first published in 1905 and then in an expanded edition in 1920. These stories--which exerted influence on Theodore Roosevelt, inspiring perhaps his most famous speech--draw from Tarkington's political career as a state legislator in Indiana, which lasted briefly but had a profound impact on him. Published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Tarkington's birth, Novels and Stories contains the most enduring works of a Hoosier luminary and an estimable chronicler of the American Midwest.

Vincere un premio Pulitzer è un grande traguardo per ogni scrittore e giornalista americano. Vincere il premio Pulitzer due volte equivale a raggiungere l'Olimpo. Ad oggi solo quattro autori si sono pregiati di questa doppia onorificenza: i grandi William Faulkner e John Updike, il contemporaneo Colson Whitehead, e il dimenticato Booth Tarkington. In un sondaggio del Publishers Weekly del 1921, i librai dell'epoca lo definiscono "l'autore americano contemporaneo più significativo" e un paio dei suoi romanzi si attestano negli elenchi annuali dei best-seller per ben nove volte. Oggi viene spesso citato come esempio di discrepanza tra grande fama in vita e oblio postumo.

America Moved: Booth Tarkington's Memoirs of Time and Place, 1869-1928 brings together for the first time all of the autobiographical writings of Booth Tarkington, one of the most successful and best-loved writers in American history. These are the memoirs of one of America's greatest literary figures--and one of the keenest interpreters of American manners and mores. During his lifetime, Tarkington was immensely popular. From 1902 to 1932, nine of his books were top ten bestsellers, The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams won Pulitzer Prizes, and Tarkington's Penrod stories became widely recognized as young-adult classics. America Moved demonstrates that Tarkington's writing and powers of social observation stand the test of time. Written in a genial, easygoing style, America Moved gently but consistently interrogates the values of the new commercial-industrial age, especially its obsessions with speed, growth, and efficiency. The humane skepticism Tarkington directs in these pages toward the automobile, sprawl, and the cult of Progress identifies him as a voice quite at home in the twenty-first century. America Moved will delight readers with an enjoyable eyewitness account of the vast social and cultural changes that transformed America between the Civil War and the Great Depression.

To remember Monsieur Robert Russ Mellin -- he promise to come to tea Hotel Magnifique, Roma, at five o'clock Thursday. So read the awkwardly-worded calling-card he pulled from his pocket -- the card that brought him here, to this chandelier-brightened room where he looked around with the pleasurable joy of recognition -- with the knowledge that here, here, was where he belonged: among the gentle, the polished, the refined . . . and the beautiful. Europe had been his goal so long -- and his hopes for pleasure grew high when he actually neared its shining horizon. But disappointment was there to meet him, during the first stages of his journey. London, his first stopping-place, gave him a few dreadful days. He knew nobody, and had not understood how heavily sheer loneliness -- something he never felt before -- would weigh down his spirits. But on his way to Paris, something happened. It was as though a light had been turned on: and now glowing promise seemed to fill his entire life . . .
