Carson Mc Cullers was an American realist author, whose stories depict the inner lives of misfits, outcasts and other lonely people. Her characters often endure physical and psychological difficulties that complicate their natural but bizarre searches for compassion. Her masterpiece ‘The Heart is a Lonely Hunter’ is now ranked by the Modern Library as 17th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Mc Cullers’ work has often been described as Southern Gothic and is indicative of her Deep South roots. For the first time in publishing history, this e Book presents Mc Cullers’ complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
