Montblanc Pens - Limited Editions - William Faulkner William Faulkner was one of the most significant American novelists of the 20th century. In his more than 50 books - novels, short stories and anthologies - he described again and again the beauty and tragedy of his homeland by the Mississippi River. Faulkner was driven by the literary urge "to cram all of human history into one sentence". To this day he thus manages to draw his readers into a maelstrom of dramatic destinies, deteriorated values, violence and death, guilt and punishment.
It is to his avant-garde experiments with new stylistic elements, interwoven plots and complex shifts in points of view that the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner owes his international fame - and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949.
