Product Information
The greatest rediscovered classic of recent years, Stoner is a literary legend - now repackaged with a more commercial, eye-catching and human-centred cover image. Read the greatest rediscovered classic of recent years 'A beautiful, sad, utterly convincing account of an entire life' Ian McEwan William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher. He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death, his colleagues remember him rarely. Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value - of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history - and in doing so reclaims the significance of an individual life. 'A brilliant, beautiful, inexorably sad, wise and elegant novel' Nick Hornby 'A terrific novel of echoing sadness' Julian BarnesProduct Identifiers

Sliding doors meets YOLO...
Bought following a Zoe Ball reading campaign recommendation. Review was accurate, in terms of no earth shattering drama, just an accurate portrayal of one man's decisions about his own life and how the repercussions ripple across the years and the people in his life. Makes you consider how your own choices have an impact.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Masterpiece!
Having read most of Hesse's books recently, I thought that I'll never find such a good or even better literature in the future. Stoner proved me wrong. It's a beautifully painful book that if read in the right time, might change your life:-)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
