A wishlist book, that's a great surprise ! Thank you so much, Trojanhorse.

Blurb from Goodreads : William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.

Bien arrivé-sain et sauf, si on peut dire ça.
Thanks a lot Icila for sending my this book, even though I had completely forgotten that I entered for this one a couple months ago.

Journal Entry 10 by wingLivrespublicwing at Málaga, Málaga Spain on Sunday, October 18, 2020
Great novel!
You can notice that the author is /was profesor for literature.
I think it's very important that books published in the last century ( I mean 20th century) are re-edited because some things are universal and timeless like the significance of an individual life.
I should have skipped the introduction though because its more like a summary.
