SYNOPSIS
This is the story of a quiet man, destined to be a farmer but who becomes an academic. It is book in which nothing and everything happens and is possibly the greatest novel you've never read.
'It's simply a novel about a guy who goes to college and becomes a teacher. But its one of the most fascinating things that you've ever come across' Tom Hanks, Time
William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher. He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death, his colleagues remember him rarely.
Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value - of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history - and in doing so reclaims the significance of an individual life.
'A beautiful, sad, utterly convincing account of an entire life' Ian McEwan
'A brilliant, beautiful, inexorably sad, wise and elegant novel' Nick Hornby

REVIEWS
A beleza do ordinário
A.
A prosa de Williams é sóbria, mas comovente, capturando as nuances das experiências de Stoner com uma sensibilidade profunda. O romance é uma meditação sobre o heroísmo silencioso de uma vida comum, com temas que ressoam universalmente.
