Reseña:  Read the greatest rediscovered classic of recent years A beautiful sad utterly convincing account of an entire life Ian McEwan 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 fathers 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 brilliant beautiful inexorably sad wise and elegant novel Nick Hornby A terrific novel of echoing sadness Julian Barnes
