Two young cowboys come of age in the dying days of the American frontier - across this award-winning trilogy, loyalty, love and the brutality of this landscape will determine the course of their lives.
Klappentext zu „The Border Trilogy “
Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.In the vanishing world of the Old West, two cowboys begin an epic adventure, and their own coming-of-age stories. In All the Pretty Horses, John Grady Cole's search for a future takes him across the Mexican border to a job as a ranch hand and an ill-fated romance. The Crossing is the story of sixteen-year-old Billy Parham, who sets off on a perilous journey across the mountains of Mexico, accompanied only by a lone wolf. Eventually the two come together in Cities of the Plain in a stunning tale of loyalty and love.
A true classic of American literature, The Border Trilogy is Cormac McCarthy's award-winning requiem for the American frontier. Beautiful and brutal, filled equally with sorrow and humour, it is a powerful story of two friends growing up in a world where blood and violence are conditions of life.
'A landmark in American literature' Guardian
'In these three fierce, desolate, beautiful novels, McCarthy has created a masterpiece' Sunday Times
