Take a look at your house, angel. Wolf T.

The largest representative of the “lost generation” Thomas Wolf (1900–1938) is included in the galaxy of writers who formed American prose in the 20-30s of the XX century. Contemporaries put him on a par with Hemingway, Falkner and Fitzgerald. Although Wolfe's creative activity lasted only a decade, he left a bright mark in the history of US literature. His first novel “Take a look at your house, an angel” is not only a chain of events that are closely following the life situation of the author himself, but also the biography of the spirit, which tells about the rapid “education of feelings”, about love and hatred, about passionate attachment to the homeland and a flight from her and, finally, about the creative torment of the writer.

“Not people run away from life because it is boring, but life runs away from people because they are small” (Thomas Wolf).
