Sanctuary is the work that catapulted William Faulkner to fame. This chilling story stands out for its strength and the originality of the author. Lee Goodwin is accused of murder in an illegal distillery, where Ruby, a woman loyal to Lee, and Popeye, a sadistic gangster marked by a difficult childhood, live together. Lawyer Horace Benbow strives to defend Goodwin, seeking to have him judged for his actions and not for prejudice. To do this, he needs the help of Temple Drake, a young woman attracted to danger, who has disappeared. The novel explores themes of injustice, morality, and the complexity of human nature in the context of the American South.
