William Stoner, fiul unor fermieri din Vestul Mijlociu, se inscrie la Universitatea din Missouri pentru a studia agricultura. Incet-incet, isi da seama ca adevarata sa vocatie este literatura. Ajuns profesor, va incerca sa insufle generatiilor de studenti dragostea pentru lecturi, ducind in acelasi timp o viata aparent banala, care capata insa o valoare universala. E, de fapt, viata majoritatii dintre noi, cu conflictele, singuratatile, izbinzile si mai ales infringerile noastre intr-o lume cel mai adesea potrivnica. Stoner este o experienta literara unica, un imn inchinat literaturii care ne modeleaza vietile.

Promise ItemWork Description
Stoner is a 1965 novel by the American writer John Williams. It was reissued in 1972 by Pocket Books, in 2003 by Vintage and in 2006 by New York Review Books Classics with an introduction by John McGahern.
Stoner has been categorized under the genre of the academic novel, or the campus novel. Stoner follows the life of the eponymous William Stoner, his undistinguished career and workplace politics, marriage to his wife, Edith, affair with his colleague, Katherine, and his love and pursuit of literature.
Despite receiving little attention upon its publication in 1965, Stoner has seen a sudden surge of popularity and critical praise since its republication in the 2000s.
