Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «El comandante Amberson había hecho una fortuna en 1873, cuando otra gente estaba perdiendo la suya, y ahí empezó la magnificencia de los Amberson». Así empieza Los magníficos Amberson, la obra maestra y segunda entrega de su aclamada trilogía Growth, que ha sido llevada al cine y a la televisión en numerosas ocasiones. La familia Amberson es la más poderosas y rica del lugar y el joven George Amberson Minafer, nieto del patriarca, es terriblemente consentido por su madre Isabel. Arrogante hasta la indecencia, seguro de su posición y valor y totalmente ignorante de los sentimientos de los demás, George se enamora en un baile de Lucy Morgan, una joven hermosa, pero también sensible e inteligente. A medida que el pueblo se convierte en una ciudad industrial, la riqueza de los Amberson mengua y crece la de los Morgan gracias al ingenio del padre de Lucy, George se enterará inevitablemente de la vieja historia de amor entre su madre y el padre de ella. Para salvar el buen nombre de su familia George decide interponerse entre ellos. Su ataque a Morgan significará renunciar a Lucy para siempre y, lo que es aún peor, la destrucción de su mundo. La historia tiene lugar en un ficticio Indianapolis y describe el crecimiento de los Estados Unidos a través del ascenso y declive de la familia Amberson durante tres generaciones, entre el final de la Guerra Civil y la primera parte del siglo XX, un período de industrialización creciente que produjo numerosos cambios en la sociedad y economía americana. El declive de los Ambersons contrasta con las nuevas fortunas de los grandes industriales y otras familias acaudaladas, cuyo poder no surge de su apellido sino de su actividad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Magnificent Ambersons is a 1918 novel by Booth Tarkington, the second in his Growth trilogy after The Turmoil (1915) and before The Midlander (1923, retitled National Avenue in 1927). It won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. In 1925, it was adapted into the silent film Pampered Youth directed by David Smith. In 1942, it was made into The Magnificent Ambersons film written and directed by Orson Welles (though the released version was edited against Welles wishes). Much later in 2002, came a same-titled TV adaptation based on Welles' screenplay. The novel and trilogy trace the growth of the United States through the declining fortunes of three generations of the aristocratic Amberson family in an upper-scale Indianapolis neighborhood, between the end of the Civil War and the early part of the 20th century, a period of rapid industrialization and socio-economic change in America. The decline of the Ambersons is contrasted with the rising fortunes of industrial tycoons and other new-money families, who derived power not from family names but by "doing things". As George Amberson's friend (name unspecified) says, "don't you think being things is 'rahthuh bettuh' than doing things?" The titular family is the most prosperous and powerful in town at the turn of the century. Young George Amberson Minafer, the patriarch's grandson, is spoiled terribly by his mother Isabel. Growing up arrogant, sure of his own worth and position, and totally oblivious to the lives of others, George falls in love with Lucy Morgan, a young though sensible debutante. But there is a long history between George's mother and Lucy's father, of which George is unaware. As the town grows into a city, industry thrives, the Ambersons' prestige and wealth wanes, and the Morgans, thanks to Lucy's prescient father, grow prosperous. When George sabotages his widowed mother's growing affections for Lucy's father, life as he knows it comes to an end.
