About This Podcast

Dive into the world of The Magnificent Ambersons, a captivating 1918 novel by Booth Tarkington that earned the Pulitzer Prize in 1919. This gripping tale is the second installment of the Growth trilogy, which also includes The Turmoil (1915) and The Midlander (1923, later retitled National Avenue). Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, the story chronicles the rise and fall of the aristocratic Amberson family across three generations in a fictional Midwestern town, capturing the essence of a nation in the throes of industrialization and social upheaval. As the Ambersons fortunes wane, the narrative contrasts their decline with the ascent of new-money families and industrial magnates, who thrive not from lineage but through innovation and hard work. A poignant moment from George Ambersons friend reminds us, “don’t you think being things is rahthuh bettuh than doing things?” Renowned critic Van Wyck Brooks lauds The Magnificent Ambersons as perhaps Tarkingtons finest work, encapsulating the story of an American family and town—an emblem of how swiftly prosperity can vanish as communities evolve. This unforgettable novel stands as a significant chapter in the social history of the United States, beautifully portraying the Ambersons, their home, and the relentless growth of the world around them.
