Vardis Fisher
Author: Michael Austin
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780252044090
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Raised by devout Mormon parents, Vardis Fisher drifted from the faith after college. Yet throughout his long career, his writing consistently reflected Mormon thought. Beginning in the early 1930s, the public turned to Fisher's novels like Children of God to understand the increasingly visible Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His striking works vaulted him into the same literary tier as William Faulkner while his commercial success opened the New York publishing world to many of the founding figures in the Mormon literary canon. Michael Austin looks at Fisher as the first prominent American author to write sympathetically about the Church and examines his work against the backdrop of Mormon intellectual history. Engrossing and enlightening, Vardis Fisher illuminates the acclaimed author's impact on Mormon culture, American letters, and the literary tradition of the American West.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
KNOWING ONLY NAKED LUST AND FEAR, THEY LIVED BY THEIR DARK AND BRUTAL PASSIONS... This critically acclaimed novel, which was first published in 1943, forms part of author Vardis Fisher’s Testament of Man, the moving and unforgettable chronicle of mankind’s long journey from cave to civilization. WERE THEY MEN...OR ANIMALS? They lived in family groups, as men do. Yet the female was always taken by force, as animals do. They walked upright, as men do. Yet they fought with their teeth and nails, ripping at each other’s flesh, as animals do. These strange and violent people belong to the bloodstained and bestial past of every one of us. These are the first men and women—more of a jungle animal than a human being...and ancestors to all of us. ‘The most ambitious project of the imagination in present-day fiction’—The New York Herald Tribune ‘One of the most brutal and disturbing novels ever written’—The Chicago Daily News ‘It is moving art...worthy of a Dostoievsky.’—William K. Gregory, The New York Times ‘An absorbing narrative...It has style, compression, clarity and a beauty of language...’—Thomas Sugrue, Saturday Review ‘A rare find...you’ll treasure it as a vision of pure delight.’—Arnold Gingrich, The Chicago Sun
