Born July 29, 1869, Booth Tarkington is best remembered for his 1918 book The Magnificent Ambersons. However, he produced over twenty novels and was one of the most popular authors of the early twentieth century. The Magnificent Ambersons was actually the second book of “The Growth Trilogy,” with The Turmoil, The Magnificent Ambersons, and The Midlander taking on the daunting task of portraying the changing social landscape of America between the Civil War and World War I. 📕📘📚📙📗 “There aren't any old times. When times are gone they're not old, they're dead! There aren't any times but new times!” ― Booth Tarkington 🕑🕓🕕🕗🕙🕐🕒 #gasstationburrito #books #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #bookishfeatures #authorquotes #quotes #bookfeaturepage #bookishfeatures #librarian_of_gram #bookaholic #Instabooks #instabook #instareads #igreads #igbooks #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #boothtarkington #magnificentambersons #time #goodolddays #olddays #bornonthisday #july29

Long forgotten since then he only came into my attention because of #PulitzerChallenge now into my second. #BoothTarkington actually twice won the Pulitzer meaning that I’ll revisited him pretty soon. Both novels were included in the @libraryofamerica volume. #TheMagnificentAmbersons also forms a part of a trilogy, whose first edition I bought recently from eBay. I guess I’ll be stuck with him for awhile. It is said that his snub mostly came from his conservatism when US entered modernity. Criterion Collection released the film adaptation several years ago, directed by Orson Welles. Back then it was really adaptation where lines were lifted from the novel verbatim. I wasn’t impressed by the movie as in almost all cases of adaptation, but it’s worth seeing just to check out how handsome George was and it turned out Tim Holt was rather cute. I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is his modern reincarnation. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiFDdseuM61/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"This busy globe which spawns us is as incapable of flattery and as intent upon its own affair, whatever that is, as a gyroscope; it keeps steadily whirling along its lawful track, and, thus far seeming to hold a right of way, spins doggedly on, with no perceptible diminution of speed to mark the most gigantic human events—it did not pause to pant and recuperate even when what seemed to Penrod its principal purpose was accomplished, and an enormous shadow, vanishing westward over its surface, marked the dawn of his twelfth birthday." (Ch. XXVIII) #penrod #boothtarkington
