Produktbeschreibung

The Border Trilogy Series by Cormac McCarthy, a collection of three captivating and critically acclaimed novels that transport readers to the rugged landscapes and rich tapestry of the American Southwest. This meticulously curated set includes the titles All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, and Cities of the Plain, each a standalone masterpiece while forming a powerful and interconnected narrative.

All the Pretty Horses:

John Grady Cole is the last bewildered survivor of long generations of Texas ranchers. Finding himself cut off from the only life he has ever wanted, he sets out for Mexico with his friend Lacey Rawlins. Befriending a third boy on the way, they find a country beyond their imagining: barren and beautiful, rugged yet cruelly civilized; a place where dreams are paid for in blood.

The Crossing:

Set on the south-western ranches in the years before the Second World War, Cormac McCarthy's The Crossing follows the fortunes of sixteen-year-old Billy Parham and his younger brother Boyd. Fascinated by an elusive wolf that has been marauding his family's property, Billy captures the animal - but rather than kill it, sets out impulsively for the mountains of Mexico to return it to where it came from.

Cities of the Plain:

In Cormac McCarthy's Cities of the Plain, two men marked by the boyhood adventures of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing now stand together, between their vivid pasts and uncertain futures, to confront a country changing beyond recognition.
