Winner of the 1919 Pulitzer Prize, Booth Tarkington’s The Magnificent Ambersons is a grand historical drama and social history of the United States that follows the story of the Amberson family’s financial decline at the start of the Industrial Age. Once upon a time in a small-but upscale-Indianapolis town, an American family built a dynasty. For generations, the Ambersons stood unchallenged as the most prominent and powerful family in the region until the turn of the century and the coming of the industrialists. The Ambersons, now centered on the patriarch’s grandson, George, enter a previously unheard of time in which their family name holds little value. Unable or perhaps unwilling to change, George experiences first hand why doing things is better than simply being things. Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of The Magnificent Ambersons is a classic of American literature, reimagined for modern readers.
