All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

�?~His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' �?" Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series'All the Pretty Horses is indisputably a masterpiece' �?" Financial Times1949. At sixteen years-old, 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. A grand love story, Cormac McCarthy's novel is about the passing of childhood, of 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. �?~One of the greatest American novels of this or any time�?T �?"
