Magnificent Ambersons

<p>[FYI: Named one of the 100 Best Novels by the editors of the Modern Library; 7/20/98 New York Times p. B1]<br /><br />Booth Tarkington's The Magnificent Ambersons is a delightful novel. In addition it is a view of Indianapolis' evolution from a major marketing center to a great industrial city. It adds a new dimension to one's understanding of the coming of the Industrial Age to the State of Indiana. --Herman B Wells Indiana University<br /><br />With the tremendous emphasis on wealth and status in contemporary society Tarkington's observations are as apt today as when first written. But that is what makes a classic isn't it? --Library Journal</p>
