Description

The sequel to Thomas Wolfe's amazing first novel, Look Homeward, Angel, Of Time and the Water is among the great classics of American literature. The book chronicles the growing of Wolfe's autobiographical personality, Eugene Gant, in his desperate look for satisfaction, making his way from small town Vermont to the broader world of Harvard University, Nyc, and Europe. In an enormous, bold, and strongly passionate book, Wolfe investigates the passage of time and the character of the creative process, as Gant gradually but ecstatically holds the metropolitan existence, knowing it as an essential experience for the delivery of his creative genius as a writer. The job of an exceedingly significant author of surprising psychological strength and rich creativity, Of the River and Time illuminates common facts about life and art, nation and town, current and past.
