La crónica de su despertar erótico, de sus descubrimientos estéticos, de su afianzamiento identitario y de sus viajes por Estados Unidos y por Europa acaba creando una polifónica novela de educación que ha sido comparado con obras como El retrato del artista adolescente de James Joyce y Absalón, Absalón de William Faulkner.

Dies ist ein Erstlingsbuch, und der Verfasser beschreibt darin ein Geschehen, das, fremd und fern nun, einst seines eignen Lebens Anteil war. Sollte aus diesem Grund ein Leser behaupten, dies Buch sei autobiographisch, dann hat der Verfasser nichts zu entgegnen: – ihm scheint, daß alle ernsthafte Romanliteratur autobiographisch ist, daß man sich zum Beispiel schwerlich ein autobiographischeres Buch als »Gullivers Reisen« vorstellen kann.

It takes him to New York and a hectic social whirl; to Paris with an uninhibited group of expatriates; to Berlin, lying cold and sinister under Hitler''s shadow.

A large family with a great appetite for living is dominated by the father until an older son, Gant, is able to free himself.

Neuübersetzung Ein amerikanisches Epos, das seinesgleichen sucht – eine hymnische Daseinsfeier und das faszinierende Bekenntnis einer überschwänglichen, allumspannenden Künstlerseele. Thomas Wolfes «Von Zeit und Fluss» ist ein Herzensbuch für alle Suchenden und Sehnenden, ob jung oder alt, eine Meditation über die Geschicke des Menschenlebens – über Bestand und Unbestand, Endlichkeit und Dauer. Eugene, lebenshungrig und unerfahren, ist auf der Suche nach sich selbst, nach seinem Bestimmungsort in der Welt. In Harvard und im New York der Zwanzigerjahre sammelt er erste Erfahrungen, lernt zu lieben, zu erkennen, zu denken, sich von falschen Vorbildern loszusagen und sich dabei selbst treu zu bleiben. Bloß keine Erstarrung in Routinen – alles in seiner reifenden Seele ist noch im Werden, in permanenter Umgestaltung. Der Held macht sich auf nach Paris, doch auch an diesem Sehnsuchtsort lässt ihn sein abenteuerliches Herz keine Ruhe finden. Was Eugene antreibt und was er sich über alle Wechselfälle des Lebens hinweg erhält, ist der Hunger nach Erkenntnis und sinnlichem Genuss. So folgen aus seiner Selbstsuche philosophisch und spirituell höchst anregende Refl exionen über das menschliche Dasein – über Sein und Werden, Zeit und Fluss.

In the summer of 1937, Thomas Wolfe was in the North Carolina mountains revising a piece about a party and subsequent fire at the Park Avenue penthouse apartment of the fictional Esther and Frederick Jack. He wrote to his agent, Elizabeth Nowell, ''I think it is now a single thing, as much a single thing as anything I''ve ever written.'' Abridged and edited versions of the story were published twice, as a novella in Scribner''s Monthly (May 1939) and as part of You Can''t Go Home Again (1940). Now Suzanne Stutman and John Idol have worked from manuscript sources at Harvard University to reconstruct The Party at Jack''s as outlined by Wolfe before his death. Here, in its untruncated state, Wolfe''s novella affords a significant glimpse of a Depression-era New York inhabited by Wall Street wheelers and dealers and the theatrical and artistic elite. Wolfe describes the Jacks and their social circle with lavish attention to mannerisms and to clothing, furnishings, and other trappings of wealth and privilege. The sharply drawn contrast between the decadence of the party-goers and the struggles of the working classes in the streets below reveals Wolfe''s gifts as both a writer and a sharp social critic.

A man journeys from a small town to the big city in this prequel to the classic You Can’t Go Home Again. Shortly before his death in 1938 at a tragically young age, author Thomas Wolfe presented his editor with an epic masterwork that was subsequently published as three separate novels: You Can’t Go Home Again, The Hills Beyond, and The Web and the Rock. The Web and the Root features the three initial sections of the The Web and the Rock, widely considered to be the book’s strongest material. A prequel to You Can’t Go Home Again, with strong autobiographical undertones, it is the story of George Webber’s momentous journey from Libya Falls, North Carolina, to the Golden City of the North—offering vivid, sometimes cutting depictions of rural pleasures and small-town clannishness while exploring boundless urban possibility and the complex, violent undercurrents of the metropolis. “Among his and my contemporaries, I ranked Wolfe first.” —William Faulkner “The only contemporary writer who can be mentioned in the same breath as Dickens and Dostoevsky.” —The New Republic

Edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli and Aldo P. Magi, The Magical Campus collects for the first time Thomas Wolfe''s earliest published work--including poems, plays, short fiction, news articles, and essays--both signed and unsigned, assembled in chronological order.

This is the never-before-published extended version of Wolfe''s short story in memory of his father.""The Four Lost Men"" is the first publication of the long version of Wolfe''s story of familial and national reflection set during World War I. Wolfe supplies a moving portrait of his dying father, as well as a rich mediation on American history and ambitions on the verge of America''s entry into a broadening global conflict. Discussion of the title characters - Presidents Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, and Hayes - provides opportunity for assessment of the mood and promise of the nation, as well as reflection on the obstacles that had obscured paths toward untapped American potential. Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, and Hayes, the four Republican presidents who followed Grant during the Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction eras, were all Civil War generals and self-made men, though none experienced a particularly distinguished term in office.These presidents are iconic figures in the stories and political musings of the narrator''s dying father. In his efforts to understand their importance to his father, the teenaged narrator comes to appreciate the act of storytelling that redefines these men in his father''s memory and, in turn, redefines his father in the his own memory.Originally published as a short story of 7,000 words in ""Scribner''s Magazine"" in 1934 - and later abridged by 1,000 words for reissue in the 1935 anthology ""From Death to Morning"" - Wolfe''s expanded tale is published here for the first time in its intended form and full length of some 21,000 words. Editors Arlyn and Matthew J. Bruccoli have employed the same methods to reestablish this text as they used to wide acclaim in their centennial edition of ""O Lost: The Story of a Buried Life"", the unabridged version of Wolfe''s ""Look Homeward, Angel"". The reestablishment of the long version of ""Four Lost Men"" opens an undeveloped area of scholarship into Wolfe''s short fiction and serves as a model for restoring other such works.

An anthology of Thomas Wolfe''s short stories, novel excerpts, and plays illuminating the Civil War This collection of Thomas Wolfe''s writings demonstrates the centrality of the Civil War to Wolfe''s literary concerns and identity. From Look Homeward, Angel to The Hill Beyond and The Web and the Rock, Wolfe perpetually returned to the themes of loss, dissolution, sorrow, and romance engendered in the minds of many southerners by the Civil War and its lingering aftermath. His characters reflect time and again on Civil War heroes and dwell on ghostlike memories handed down by their mothers, fathers, and grandfathers. Wolfe and his protagonists compare their contemporary southern landscape to visions they have conjured of its appearance before and during the war, thereby merging the past with the present in an intense way. Ultimately, Wolfe''s prose style--incantatory and rhapsodic--is designed to evoke the national tragedy on an emotional level. Selections of Wolfe''s writings in this collection include short stories ("Chickamauga," "Four Lost Men," "The Plumed Knight"), excerpts from his novels (O Lost, the restored version of Look Homeward, Angel, The Hills Beyond, and Of Time and the River) and a play, Mannerhouse, edited and introduced by David Madden. Madden, who makes the provocative claim that everything a southern writer writes derives from the Civil War experience, also highlights many issues essential to understanding Wolfe''s absorption with the Civil War.

The relationship between Thomas Wolfe and his editor, Maxwell Perkins has been the subject of guesswork and anecdote for 70 years. Scholars have debated Wolfe''s dependence on his editor. This volume of 251 letters should clarify the relationship and set the record straight.

Sixty-six thousand words were omitted for reasons of propriety and publishing economics, as well as to remove material deemed expendable by Perkins. Published for the first time on October 3, 2000 - the centenary of Wolfe''s birth - O Lost presents the complete text of the novel''s manuscript.".

In 1920 Thomas Wolfe left the South with the strong desire to become a dramatist. To pursue his chosen craft, he enrolled in the Harvard 47 Workshop, at that time the most renowned in the nation. At first he wrote plays about Appalachian society and the Civil War. But it was not until Wolfe turned to the modern South—inspired by a disturbing return to his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina—that his genius awoke. There he found the material he would work into the best of his three full-length plays written at Harvard, the material that in the next decade would be recast into the novels that would make him famous. This is the first book publication of Welcome to Our City, Thomas Wolfe’s play in ten scenes of a modern South ruled by liars and real estate agents, overrun with boosterism, and dedicated to greed. This sprawling, fiery work has lain dormant among Wolfe’s papers for over fifty years, abandoned by its author after an unsuccessful attempt to revise and shorten it for a New York Theatre Guild production. For this edition, Richard S. Kennedy has reassembled a full performance text of the workshop version presented at Harvard in 1923—a production that involved forty-five cast members, including over thirty speaking parts, required seven stage changes, and lasted over three and a half hours in performance. The action of Welcome to Our City centers on a scheme of the town fathers and real estate promoters of Altamont, a small southern city, to snatch up all the property in a centrally located black district, evict the tenants, tear down their houses and shops, and build a new white residential section in its place. When the blacks, under the angry leadership of a strong-willed doctor, resist eviction, a race riot breaks out—shattering both the precarious social balance of the city and the “progressive” dreams of Altamont’s boosters. Building on this plot, Wolfe guides his audience through the back rooms, stately homes, ans shanty towns of Altamont, contrasting tradition-bound southern characters with a new breed of life drawn from the vast menagerie of 1920s Main Street America: fact-spouting yes-men, hypocritical religious leaders, anti-intellectual professors, provincial country club matrons, and politicians inauthentic from their heads to their feet. Welcome to Our City is not merely an exhibit in the artistic development of a future novelist. Wolfe used the dramatic form inventively and with considerable inspiration to expose the culture of greed that he saw spreading around him and to caricature the men who, he feared, would usher in an age of mediocrity across America. Emotionally gripping and mockingly satiric, Welcome to Our City captures the festering social climate of the 1920s in a vision of life that is uncomfortably relevant to our own times.

Chronicles the maturing of Wolfe''s autobiographical character, Eugene Gant, in his desperate search for fulfillment, making his way from small-town North Carolina to the wider world of Harvard University, New York City, and Europe.

One of the most enduring characters in Thomas Wolfe''s fiction is Francis Starwick, the Midwestern aesthete who befriends Eugene Grant at Harvard in Wolfe''s second autobiographical novel, Of Time and the River. Wolfe created Starwick in order to provide a foil for the artistic development of Eugene: Starwick was the pretentious, narrow-minded dilettante whose response to the arts is all talk and pose, as compared with Eugene, who hopes to express in writing his intensity of feeling about all aspects of life. While writing the novel, however, Wolfe found his manuscript proliferating beyond his control, and he turned to his editor at Scribner''s Maxwell Perkins, for help in shaping the final version of the book. In the process of organizing the massive manuscript for publication, Perkins deleted some of the analyses of Starwick''s behavior and several of the episodes involving Eugene and Starwick. The result was that the relationship between the two young men was not as fully developed as Wolfe had originally planned. Richard S. Kennedy discovered these excised passages among the Wolfe papers at Harvard University''s Houghton Library. In The Starwick Episodes has arranged them sequentially and indicated their position in the original manuscript. In one of them Starwick introduces Eugene to Joyce''s Ulysses, and in another he takes him to view the paintings in Boston'' Museum of Fine Arts. Additional scenes find the two exploring the lower depths of Paris until at length their true sexual natures are revealed in a visit to a Parisian brothel. Kennedy''s research also uncovered the story of the life of Kenneth Raisbeck, the young man whom Wolfe used as the starting point for his fictional creation of Starwick. In his Introduction, Kennedy describes Raisbeck''s career, both its brilliant promise and its tragic end, and his similarity to the character in the novel. The presence of Starwick in Of Time and the River is unforgettable despite the omission of some important scenes that Wolfe wrote for him. With the publication now of the deleted episodes, readers may gain an enriched sense of Wolfe''s fascinating creation and a fuller understanding of what he was trying to convey.

For the last eight years of his life, Thomas Wolfe worked periodically on a series of chapters that were part of a huge work-in-progress. The work was based loosely on the early life of New York stage and costume designer Aline Bernstein, with whom Wolfe
