Publisher Description

"Intruder in the Dust" is a compelling novel penned by renowned American author William Faulkner. Set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, the story follows the gripping tale of Lucas Beauchamp, a proud and defiant African-American man accused of murder. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of Charles Mallison, one of the young white boy, and his uncle Gavin Stevens, a lawyer. When Lucas is wrongfully charged with killing a white man, Charles and Gavin take it upon themselves to unravel the truth and ensure justice prevails. Their quest for the truth leads them to confront racial prejudices, social tensions, and the weight of history in the racially divided South. Faulkner's writing brilliantly captures the complexities of race relations and the dynamics of a society grappling with its past. He highlights the struggles of African Americans in the post-World War II era and sheds light on the enduring legacy of slavery and discrimination. The plot has so many twists and turns that can engage a reader. "Intruder in the Dust" is a profound exploration of morality, integrity, and the human conscience.
