Featuring four distinct narrators and a challenging prose style, this classic is a must-have for discerning readers seeking a profound and rewarding literary experience. ## Description A complex, intense American novel of family from the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature With an introduction by Richard Hughes Ever since the first furore was created on its publication in 1929, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, the novel explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart, this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it. What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?' Review: Well Worth The Effort - This book is exceptional. It's not an easy read by any means so don't choose it as part of your holiday reading but the effort is definitely worth it. The book is split up into four parts which get progessively easier to read. They are by four different narrators and four different points of view of what is basically the disintegration of a once wealthy family in the deep south of America circa 1920's. It's well worth reading this book for Faulkner's prose alone. Review: A book to read again to get the full experience, wonderful writing. - I had to work at this reading because of the language, the structure and style. It needs further reading for me to begin unpacking everything. On a simple level it is an enjoyable read, the story moves along if at times confusingly so, the characters are well formed. There are different time lines and character names attached to different people at different periods, it can be hard to see who is who. Very much in the same vein as Woolf and Joyce though the writing is not as polished or advanced. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Images ![The Sound and the Fury (Vintage Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kxicO1eGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well Worth The Effort *by L***D on 16 October 2014* This book is exceptional.

It needs further reading for me to begin unpacking everything. On a simple level it is an enjoyable read, the story moves along if at times confusingly so, the characters are well formed.

Very much in the same vein as Woolf and Joyce though the writing is not as polished or advanced. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is really best to go with the flow as another reviewer has ... *by B***R on 20 November 2014* This is actually a testing narrative, or a series of narratives, particularly the second by Quentin I found, with the continual movement in time frames, but it is without doubt worth the effort to persevere as the book is a piece of creative genius the likes that one seldom has the privilege to read, and relates much to the sentiments of the passage from Macbeth from where the title of the book is taken. It is really best to go with the flow as another reviewer has suggested and appreciate the different narratives from three brothers caught up in one family's fall from grace in the American south with the ever present racial intolerance and the shame of one of the brother's mental incapacity and a sister's promiscuity - made more remarkable by the first narrative being the inward voice/observations of Ben, the brother with mental incapacity and the second narrative by Quentin, whose depression leads to suicide. The third narrative is by the more volatile brother who seeks redress for his lot in the family downfall and the events that unfold when his niece steals his ill begotten savings in the final part that moves from the individual's subjective perspective. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Sound and the Fury (Vintage classics) - As I Lay Dying: William Faulkner (Vintage classics) - Absalom, Absalom!: William Faulkner (Vintage classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/59113647-the-sound-and-the-fury-vintage-classics](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/59113647-the-sound-and-the-fury-vintage-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
