The first thing I do is admit that he knew neither this book nor its author, John Williams, until very kindly Dance sun sent him home to me some months ago. And the second thing I want do is just to thank this publisher for giving me the opportunity to discover an author and a work which I enjoyed very much.

Stoner is the title of the book and the name of its protagonist. William Stoner is a young gray, simple, sad, a lot man, that goes unnoticed, never gets into trouble and not hurt anyone. He lives with his parents in Missouri, which helps them work on the farm and the fields that feed the whole family. Obeying the advice of his father in 1910, aged 19, became a student of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Missouri. His idea is to study the four years of his career and return to the farm to continue helping his family.

But a very special and particular professor, Archer Sloane, gets in his way and completely change your plans, your life, present and especially future. Obeying Sloane, because it gives the feeling that Stoner can not say no, change the Agriculture for Literature, he received his doctorate and became a teacher.

not know if you like it or not, you know what you want, what you want, Stoner gets carried away, swept away by events. Some events marked first by the First World War and after the Second and even the English Civil War. Some events that will not only Stoner, but their only two friends, David Masters and Gordon Finch.

All he knows, the only thing that is clear is that I enjoy teaching, dealing with students, teaching and studying, researching, writing. But above all, Stoner is clear that the university enjoys a space and an environment familiar to them, nice, that help you feel safe and protected from everything out there, from all around the outside of University of Missouri. For Stoner college is a refuge, as is the home office where, surrounded by books, he is safe from his wife and daughter.

Stoner Edith falls madly in love on sight and without regard for his high social position and not know decides to marry her. However, their marriage falls apart from the first day, or perhaps more accurately, from the first night, and over the years, Stoner will be the victim of the war Edith brought against him, a war of attrition, full of slights, insults and attacks, even Stoner try to avoid them, you are affecting more and more.

As ever, Stoner looking for refuge in college to flee their personal and family problems without suspecting that there just find love, salvation, but also pain, failure, loss and heartbreak.

Stoner Because life is a continual agony, a succession of problems, fighting, fighting, fighting, pain, suffering and loss. And what hurts most of all this is how the protagonist of this novel does nothing to defend, not react, do not try to change your life, deal with his wife, his daughter Grace, their students or their main enemy in the University, Lomax, who, with ever more power and strength, try to make life miserable for Stoner.

Stoner is a novel, simple but not simple, just the opposite. She is frank, fascinating, honest, intense, vibrant and, above all, soulful. As we pass the pages, we are increasingly closer to its star and finally we see him as a friend or relative, someone known for many years and with whom we share life, good and bad, someone who causes us great love and great compassion, and even many times, sorry. Stoner suffer with it when we see suffering, because I admire, because we want and, above all, because his story is endearing, warm and beautiful.
