Los magníficos Amberson by Booth Tarkington Pdf

«El comandante Amberson había hecho una fortuna en 1873, cuando otra gente estaba perdiendo la suya, y ahí empezó la magnificencia de los Amberson». Así empieza Los magníficos Amberson, la obra maestra y segunda entrega de su aclamada trilogía Growth, que ha sido llevada al cine y a la televisión en numerosas ocasiones. La familia Amberson es la más poderosas y rica del lugar y el joven George Amberson Minafer, nieto del patriarca, es terriblemente consentido por su madre Isabel. Arrogante hasta la indecencia, seguro de su posición y valor y totalmente ignorante de los sentimientos de los demás, George se enamora en un baile de Lucy Morgan, una joven hermosa, pero también sensible e inteligente. A medida que el pueblo se convierte en una ciudad industrial, la riqueza de los Amberson mengua y crece la de los Morgan gracias al ingenio del padre de Lucy, George se enterará inevitablemente de la vieja historia de amor entre su madre y el padre de ella. Para salvar el buen nombre de su familia George decide interponerse entre ellos. Su ataque a Morgan significará renunciar a Lucy para siempre y, lo que es aún peor, la destrucción de su mundo. La historia tiene lugar en un ficticio Indianapolis y describe el crecimiento de los Estados Unidos a través del ascenso y declive de la familia Amberson durante tres generaciones, entre el final de la Guerra Civil y la primera parte del siglo XX, un período de industrialización creciente que produjo numerosos cambios en la sociedad y economía americana. El declive de los Ambersons contrasta con las nuevas fortunas de los grandes industriales y otras familias acaudaladas, cuyo poder no surge de su apellido sino de su actividad.

The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington Pdf

"The Magnificent Ambersons" is the 1918 novel by Booth Tarkington which won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize. It is the second novel in "The Growth Trilogy," which includes "The Turmoil"(1915) and "The Midlander" (1923). In 1942, Orson Welles directed a film version of it, also titled "The Magnificent Ambersons" and starring Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, and Anne Baxter. The novel and trilogy traces the growth of the United States through the declining fortunes of three generations of the aristocratic Amberson family. It is set in a fictional Mid-Western town, between the end of the Civil War and the early part of the 20th century, a period of rapid industrialisation and socio-economic change. The decline of the Ambersons is contrasted with the rising fortunes of industrial tycoons and other new-money, self-made families. Booth Tarkington (1869-1946) was an American novelist and dramatist. Originally from Indianapolis, he attended both Purdue University and Princeton, as well as getting an honorary doctorate from Columbia. His family was well-off, though they lost some of their wealth in the Panic of 1873 (the Great Depression). He won the Pulitzer Prize twice, for "The Magnificent Ambersons" (1918) and "Alice Adams" (1921), making him one of only three to win it more than once, putting him alongside William Faulkner and John Updike. Whilst he is less known today, he was considered to be America's greatest living author during the early 20th century.

The Magnificent Ambersons by Newton Tarkington Pdf

Major Amberson had "made a fortune" in 1873, when other people were losing fortunes, and the magnificence of the Ambersons began then. Magnificence, like the size of a fortune, is always comparative, as even Magnificent Lorenzo may now perceive, if he has happened to haunt New York in 1916; and the Ambersons were magnificent in their day and place. Their splendour lasted throughout all the years that saw their Midland town spread and darken into a city, but reached its topmost during the period when every prosperous family with children kept a Newfoundland dog. In that town, in those days, all the women who wore silk or velvet knew all the other women who wore silk or velvet, and when there was a new purchase of sealskin, sick people were got to windows to see it go by. Trotters were out, in the winter afternoons, racing light sleighs on National Avenue and Tennessee Street; everybody recognized both the trotters and the drivers; and again knew them as well on summer evenings, when slim buggies whizzed by in renewals of the snow-time rivalry.
