Synopsis:

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - The only hardcover edition of the "powerful and poignant" (The New York Times Book Review) twentieth-century reimagining of Shakespeare's King Lear - With a new introduction by Lucy Hughes-Hallett - EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY CONTEMPORARY CLASSICS

This powerful novel centers on a wealthy Iowa farmer who decides to divide his farm among his three daughters. When the youngest objects, she is cut out of his will, which sets in motion a chain of events that brings dark truths to light. Ambitiously conceived and stunningly written, A Thousand Acres spins the most fundamental themes of truth, justice, love, and pride into a universally acclaimed masterpiece.

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
