Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Mallon and Library of America invite readers to rediscover the Pulitzer Prize-winning novels of a classic American writer on the 150th anniversary of his birth Much in need of rediscovery today, Booth Tarkington was among the most beloved and widely read writers of his era. In such classic novels as The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams, both winners of the Pulitzer Prize, Tarkington displayed a mastery of realism and an astute, strikingly modern feel for psychology, capturing crucial transformations in our national life as they were manifested in changing social customs and in the very landscape itself, altered irrevocably by industrialization and environmental degradation. Out of Tarkington's prolific writings novelist and critic Thomas Mallon has selected three works that show Tarkington at his best. The Magnificent Ambersons, inspiration for Orsen Welles's classic film, is a tour de force study in egoism, depicting the fall from grace of George Minafer, wayward scion of the once-unassailable Amberson family. The titular protagonist of Alice Adams, portrayed unforgettably by Katharine Hepburn in what many consider her finest performance, is one of the great heroines of American literature: like Henry James's Isabel Archer and the young women of Edith Wharton's novels, she is a spirited, complicated young woman contronting the limits of her time and place with her own headlong desires. These novels are joined here by the story collection In the Arena: Tales from Political Life, first published in 1905 and then in an expanded edition in 1920. These stories--which exerted influence on Theodore Roosevelt, inspiring perhaps his most famous speech--draw from Tarkington's political career as a state legislator in Indiana, which lasted briefly but had a profound impact on him. Published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Tarkington's birth, Novels and Stories contains the most enduring works of a Hoosier luminary and an estimable chronicler of the American Midwest.

Book excerpt: I speak of politics as a game, and in some ways it is, he says to me. But there are times when it looks to me more like a series of combats, hand-to-hand fights for life -- and fierce struggles between men and strange powers You buy your newspaper and that's your ticket to the amphitheater. But the distance is hazy and far; there are clouds of dust and you can't see clearly. To make out just what is going on, you have to get down in the arena yourself Once you're in it, the view you'll have and the fighting that will come your way will more than repay you. Still, I don't think we ought to go in with the idea of being repaid. But you have to get down -- in the arena Booth Tarkington (1869-1946), two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, pursued politics early in his career, serving as a member of the Indiana House of Representatives. His observations of the cynicism and corruption of lawmakers inspired not only his first novel, The Gentleman from Indiana, but also his more accomplished work of six years later, In the Arena,
