Nice Holiday Tale Aside from that, it is the story of a rather quiet man who hardly says anything at all.He is in the state'scongress and is well respected by his peers and constituents.However, hisneighbors begin to see him acting strangely.He talks to himself and isdoing strange things around his house. However, all is not what it seemsto be and comes to fruition on Christmas Eve. I didn't find myselftotally into the holiday spirit after reading the book, however, I did likethe "quaint" and "folksy" attitude of the book. Something fun to read in the course of an hour.Not Tarkington's best, butdefinitely interesting and motivating for the holidays. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Book Description "There is a midland city in the heart of fair, open country, a dirty and wonderful city nesting dingily in the fog of its own smoke," begins The Turmoil, the first volume of Pulitzer Prize-winner Booth Tarkington's "Growth" trilogy. A narrative of loss and change, a love story, and a warning about the potential evils of materialism, the book chronicles two midwestern families trying to cope with the onset of industrialization. Tarkington believed that culture could flourish even as the country was increasingly fueled by material progress. The Turmoil, the first great success of his career, tells the intertwined stories of two families: the Sheridans, whose integrity wanes as their wealth increases, and the Vertrees, who remain noble but impoverished. Linked by the romance between a Sheridan son and a Vertrees daughter, the story of the two families provides a dramatic view of what America was like on the verge of a new order. An introduction by Lawrence R. Rodgers places the novel squarely in the social and cultural context of the Progressive Era. The book also features illustrations by C. E. Chambers.

Biography Out There... If you're a relative you may already know that there is a biography of Tarkington out there by James Woodress (who I believe also contributed to this memoir by Susanah Mayberry). The biography is Booth Tarkington: Gentleman From Indiana. Good luck!

More Penrod Schofield.
Good and Funny Book The tales contained weren't as interestingas the original Penrod however I was laughing out loud a time or two. Tarkington has the mannerisms down pat for a twelve year-old boy livingaround the WW1 area. This book is listed as a juvenile book, however, Iwouldn't recommend it for children unless they weren't afraid ofdictionaries and some politically incorrect references toAfrican-Americans. There is also a chilling tale about Penrod and Samfinding an old gun in Sam's father's drawer and what occurred with it.Tooreal in today's world, however the result of the tale was sobering.
Charming classical piece of literature from the early 1900s
A warm and funny picture of a boy's life in pre-WWI America. |

History from Tarkington Each story or chapterexplains exactly what impact a particular invention made upon society.Thebiggest one, according to Tarkington, is the car.The car appears to haveushered in major societal changes:people went into debt to purchase one,people's live became more rushed and hurried, speed was important, theybecame a status symbol, necking parties occurred, women cut their hair andwore short clothes so as not to be harassed by the wind.The book alsomentions the invention of the airplane, electricity, women's suffrage,prohibition, and the introduction of "sex" plays, novels, andmovies.Also, the changing of the moral guard is also writtenabout. This book is more like a Tarkington-perspective history bookrather than awork of fiction.Also, those who wonder why the moralchanges in the youth of today and yesterday can look into this book and seethat people back at the turn of the century were raising the same questionsand were dealing with the same issues.Tarkington attempts to answer them,but I felt his answers and explanations fell short.The book was also abit of a challenge to read -- as sometimes it drifted into very deep andsubjects.Also, the chapters themselves were discontinuous and were jumpy. This is not a book for light reading (like many other Tarkington novels). ... Read more |
