A beautiful hardcover edition of the iconic forgotten classic, the story of an ordinary yet extraordinary life of a man. William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at the age of nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher. He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death, his colleagues rarely remember him. Yet, with truth, compassion, and intense power, this novel reveals a story of universal value - the conflicts, defeats, and victories of the human race that remain unrecorded by history - and in doing so redefines the significance of an individual life.
