- Résumé : "The Magnificent Ambersons" by Booth Tarkington is a novel that explores the rise and fall of a wealthy Midwestern family, the Ambersons, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The story centers around the Amberson family's decline as they fail to adapt to the rapidly changing world around them. The protagonist, George Amberson Minafer, is the spoiled and arrogant grandson of the family patriarch, Major Amberson. George's sense of entitlement and disdain for others is evident from a young age, and he grows up believing in the invincibility of his family's social standing. However, as the town industrializes and modernizes, the Ambersons' fortunes begin to wane. George's mother, Isabel, marries Wilbur Minafer, a man she does not truly love, leading to a life of unfulfilled desires. The novel delves into themes of social change, the advent of industrialization, and the consequences of pride and arrogance. As the Ambersons' wealth diminishes, George is forced to confront the reality of his family's situation and his own shortcomings. Tarkington's narrative captures the essence of a bygone era, highlighting the inevitable shift from old-world grandeur to modernity.
