The Magnificent Ambersons

Booth Tarkington

Tarkington’s telling social commentary charts the rise and fall of three generations of the successful and socially connected Amberson family in the face of a changing America. The spinning wheels of industry and commerce quickly overtake the old world and change the definition of ambition, success and loyalty almost overnight—and irreversibly change the definition of the Amberson family as well.
