Lonesome Dove

Beschreibung:

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Immerse yourself in the gritty American Frontier in Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. A powerful, triumphant tribute to the American West and a masterful epic from the screenwriter of Brokeback Mountain.

This is the story of a group of audacious cowboys on a perilous cattle drive across the sprawling wilderness, from Texas to Montana. Bound by duty and hardened by the relentless frontier, their shared journey embodies the enduring spirit of the West.

More than an adventure, beyond any love story, the first published book, chronologically third in McMurtry's esteemed Lonesome Dove quartet, depicts an enduring American experience. A must-read for fans of evocative Western Americana, McMurtry propels you into the heart of 19th-century America, its triumphs and betrayals bound together in a dance of heightened drama and human spirit.
