The most famous work of Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner is an immortal classic in the history of modern literature. It tells the story of the family tragedy of the Compson family, a declining landowner in the American South, and performs a dark and confusing ethical drama. What is most praised is the classic use of multiple perspectives and stream-of-consciousness techniques in the book. The title of the book is taken from a line in Shakespeare's "Macbeth": "Life is like a fool's tale, full of noise and fury (sound and fury), but meaningless." The theme of the novel is also expressed in this line.
