Review this product
  • Paper quality
  • Was it easy to read?
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • A seemingly simple story of a university professor who appears to have little to say. Simple writing that does not tire with unnecessary details unfolds the story with mastery, which can be described as optimistic but also pessimistic depending on one's perspective. It is one of those books that you read and stay with you. Of course, it is recommended.

Description & Specifications

The novel describes the life and career of Stoner, a modest professor of English Literature: his teaching, his relationships at the University, his friendships, the failure of his marriage, but also his love for a young female professor, a relationship that will inevitably get entangled in the contradictions and rivalries of university life.

"The most important element of the novel," the author writes, "is the awareness of the work, of the profession that Stoner has... The love for something is what matters."
