The text is the novel, 'The Sound and the Fury.' In checking, it does appear that a number of reviews are, indeed, for 'As I Lay Dying.' The corrected text edition is copyrighted 1984 by Jill Faulkner Summers, so presumably this is the original version published in 1929. I do see the original copyright on this edition.

If you preview the book, you'll find that it has the Random House logo and the original copyright of 1929, along with the renewed copyright date of 1956 - renewed while Faulkner was still alive. I personally don't see this as a bogus edition, unless there is something I am missing. Back in the mid-'70s (or possibly early '80s), Random House attempted to restore the original texts on a number of his important works that had been edited when they were first published. Those texts were later restored to (in my words) his 'preferred texts'. Over the years, I've read both versions, mainly because I love Faulkner's work.

Since you feel that it is bogus, why not send a query to Random House? It appears as if the book [the original edition] is now in the Public Domain in certain countries, Canada being one of them. (The United States of America is not one of those countries.) From Wikisource: "Some or all works by this author are in the public domain in the United States because they were published before January 1, 1923. "The author died in 1962, so works by this author are also in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 50 years or less. Works by this author may also be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works."

What are the copyright terms for Germany? Would Germany be relevant to this board now?

I'm not going to attempt to notify Amazon or Random House that this is probably an unauthorized edition. IMHO, they never should have retroactively extended the length of copyrighted works. Faulkner at the time of his death had the expectation that this novel would be public domain in 1986. If this is an unauthorized edition, and Random House notifies Amazon, Amazon has a history of removing them from purchaser's Kindle libraries. |
