Cormac McCarthy - All The Pretty Horses (2nd Hand Paperback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780330510936
Synopsis
Border Trilogy #1.
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 civilised; a place where dreams are paid for in blood.
All the Pretty Horses is an acknowledged masterpiece from Pulitzer Prize winning author Cormac McCarthy, and a grand love story: a novel about childhood passing, along with innocence and a vanished American age. Steeped in the wisdom that comes only from loss, it is a magnificent parable of responsibility, revenge and survival.

"An exhilarating, exceptional novel." - Spectator.
