SINOPSIS

A modern-day Western full of horses and gunplay and romance, it transcends the bounds of its genre with rambunctious, high-spirited, bottomless inventiveness. All the Pretty Horses is a true American original.”

-Newsweek

 

All the Pretty Horses – the first volume of the Border Trilogy – tells of young Grady Cole, the last of a long line of Texas ranchers. Across the border Mexico beckons – beautiful and desolate, rugged and cruelly civilized. With two companions, he sets off on an idyllic, sometimes comic adventure, to a place where dreams are paid for in blood.

 

“McCarthy puts most other American writers to shame. His work itself repays the tight focus of his attention with its finely wrought craftsmanship and its ferocious energy.”

-The New York Times Book Review

 

All the Pretty Horses’ elegiac rhythm captures the badlands of Texas and northern Mexico with a passion most writers either couldn’t muster or wouldn’t dare.

-Boston Globe
