Carte - Three Famous Short Novels: Spotted Horses, Old Man, the Bear - William Faulkner

\nYou cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore. --William Faulkner \nThese short works offer three different approaches to Faulkner, each representative of his work as a whole. Spotted Horses is a hilarious account of a horse auction, and pits the cold practicality of women against the boyish folly of men. Old Man is something of an adventure story. When a flood ravages the countryside of the lower Mississippi, a convict finds himself adrift with a pregnant woman. And The Bear, perhaps his best known shorter work, is the story of a boy's coming to terms wit the adult world. By learning how to hunt, the boy is taught the real meaning of pride, humility, and courage.\n
