This award-winning novel of love, survival, and agonizing regret in
post–WWII Brooklyn “belongs on that small shelf reserved for
American masterpieces” (The Washington Post Book World). Winner of
the National Book Award and a modern classic, Sophie’s Choice
centers on three characters: Stingo, a sexually frustrated aspiring
novelist; Nathan, his charismatic but violent Jewish neighbor; and
Sophie, an Auschwitz survivor who is Nathan’s lover. Their
entanglement in one another’s lives will build to a stirring
revelation of agonizing secrets that will change them forever.
Poetic in its execution, and epic in its emotional sweep, Sophie’s
Choice explores the good and evil of humanity through Stingo’s
burgeoning worldliness, Nathan’s volatile personality, and
Sophie’s tragic past. Mixing elements from Styron’s own experience
with themes of the Holocaust and the history of slavery in the
American South, the novel is a profound and haunting human drama,
representing Styron at the pinnacle of his literary brilliance.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of William Styron,
including original letters, rare photos, and never-before-seen
documents from the Styron family and the Duke University Archives.
