In 1942 Orson Welles directed a film version based on volume 2, also titled \"The Magnificent Ambersons.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trilogy traces the growth of the United States through the declining fortunes of three generations of the aristocratic Amberson family in a fictional Mid-Western town, between the end of the Civil War and the early part of the 20th century, a period of rapid industrialization and socio-economic change in America. The decline of the Ambersons is contrasted with the rising fortunes of industrial tycoons and other new-money families, which did not derive power from family names but by \"doing things\". As George Amberson's friend says, \"don't you think being things is 'rahthuh bettuh' than doing things?\" (Summary adapted from Wikipedia by Gesine)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DISCOS PALMAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116612272368,"sku":"2940169478310","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169478310_p0.jpg?v=1763683873","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169478310","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
