Description

`The Magnificent Ambersons' discusses just that, the Amberson family. Written in 1919, Booth's novel follows this family as they manage to imprint the stamp of their souls on life in early Indianapolis. Set during the dawn of the twentieth century, as the industrial revolution was beginning to rear its head, the novel dissects the fateful Amberson clan, delving into the young and rather self-interested George Amberson Minafer, grandson to the family's wealthy patriarch. Focusing on this young man, we follow him as he is brought up by a mother who dotes on his every want and desire, to his detriment, as she constantly shields him from the harsh realities of `consequence'. Because of her unyielding affections, George grows up crooked so-to-speak, a man who is convinced in his own infallibility, completely absorbed in his own ideas and opinions, constantly forcing them on those around him. His faults are exemplified when he begins to show carnal interest in young Lucy Morgan, the daughter of a man who at one time owned George's mother's own heart. As George's father's health wanes and his mother's attention becomes preoccupied, George begins to meddle in a way that proves disastrous, causing heartache for everyone involved; even George.
