Farrell's powerful \u003cb\u003eStuds Lonigan\u003c\/b\u003e trilogy covers five months of the young hero's life in 1916, when he is sixteen years old. In this relentlessly naturalistic yet richly complex portrait, Studs is carried along by his swaggering and shortsighted companions, his narrow family, and his educational and religious background toward a fate that he resists yet cannot escape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

In 1907, his father, James Farrell, a teamster unable to support his growing family, placed young Jim with his maternal grandparents. It was his grandparents' neighborhood in Chicago's South Fifties that would provide the background to Farrell's \u003cb\u003eStuds Lonigan\u003c\/b\u003e trilogy. Farrell worked his way through the University of Chicago, shedding his Catholic upbringing and absorbing the works of William James, John Dewey, Sigmund Freud, while reading widely in American and European literature: Herman Melville, Sherwood Anderson, H. L. Mencken, Sinclair Lewis, and James Joyce were critical influences on his literary development. \"\u003cb\u003eSlob\u003c\/b\u003e\" (1929), his first published story, was also his first render ing of the real life \"Studs Lonigan,\" a young man he had known growing up in Chicago. Farrell's first novel, \u003cb\u003eYoung Lonigan\u003c\/b\u003e was published in 1932, followed by \u003cb\u003eThe Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan\u003c\/b\u003e (1934) and \u003cb\u003eJudgment Day\u003c\/b\u003e (1935)--the three volumes making up his celebrated Studs Lonigan trilogy. A prolific writer, Farrell left more than fifty books of stories and novels behind him when he died in 1979. Alongside his masterpiece \u003cb\u003eStuds Lonigan\u003c\/b\u003e, Farrell's best-known works include the Danny O'Neill novels, \u003cb\u003eA World I Never Made\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eNo Star is Lost\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eFather and Son\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eMy Days of Anger\u003c\/b\u003e.
