Look Homeward, Angel

The spectacular, history-making first novel about a young manâ€™s coming of age by literary legend Thomas Wolfe, first published in 1929 and long considered a classic of twentieth century literature.

A legendary author on par with William Faulkner and Flannery Oâ€™Connor, Thomas Wolfe published Look Homeward, Angel, his first novel, about a young manâ€™s burning desire to leave his small town and tumultuous family in search of a better life, in 1929. It gave the world proof of his genius and launched a powerful legacy.

The novel follows the trajectory of Eugene Gant, a brilliant and restless young man whose wanderlust and passion shape his adolescent years in rural North Carolina. Wolfe said that Look Homeward, Angel is â€œa book made out of my life,â€ and his largely autobiographical story about the quest for a greater intellectual life has resonated with and influenced generations of readers, including some of todayâ€™s most important novelists. Rich with lyrical prose and vivid characterizations, this twentieth-century American classic will capture the hearts and imaginations of every reader.
