House Made of Dawn American Classics Edition

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize "Both a masterpiece about the universal human condition and a masterpiece of Native American literature. . . . A beautiful artistic object, a book everyone should read for the joy and emotion of the language it contains." -- The Paris Review In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. House Made of Dawn is the magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from renowned Kiowa writer and poet N. Scott Momaday. A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his grandfather''s, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world--modern, industrial America--pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, trying to claim his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and despair. An American classic, House Made of Dawn is at once a tragic tale about the disabling effects of war and cultural separation, and a hopeful story of a stranger in his native land, finding his way back to all that is familiar and sacred.
