Описание: A sweeping four-part epic of the American West that could only come from the boundless skill and imagination of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry.

Over a career that spans fifty years, Larry McMurtry has been celebrated as "one of America's great storytellers" (The Wall Street Journal) and a writer who "stands among our best not only because of his uncanny ability to compress a cogent narrative arc but also because his eye for the moving detail is infallible" (Los Angeles Times). In The Berrybender Narratives, now published in a single volume for the first time, the author of Lonesome Dove delivers the unforgettable story of an idiosyncratic pioneer family and a truly unique view of the American West, reminding us again that his writing "has the power to clutch the heart and also to exhilarate" (The New Yorker).

In 1830, the Berrybender family--British, aristocratic, and fiercely out of place--abandons their home in England to embark on a journey through the American West just as the frontier is beginning to open up. Accompanied by a large and varied collection of retainers, Lord and Lady Berrybender intend to travel up the Missouri and settle in Texas, hoping to broaden the perspectives of their children, including Tasmin, a young woman of grit, beauty, and cunning. But when Tasmin's fast-developing relationship with Jim Snow, a frontiersman and ferocious Indian fighter, begins to dictate the family's course, they move further into the expansive and hostile wilderness and into the path of Indians, pioneers, mountain men, and explorers. As Lord Berrybender's health falters, and the rest of the family goes to pieces around him, Tasmin finds herself taking command of their collective fate and is finally forced to decide where her future lies.

Full of real and fascinating characters, famous shoot-outs, adventure, humor, love, and loss, The Berrybender Narratives is an epic of the American West during its period of transformation, a landscape that nobody understands better than Larry McMurtry.

Описание:

With lively drawings and surprisingly thorough text, Gonick rides with Paul Revere and flies with Sputnik through the salient points of our nation's history. In the tradition of Gonick's The Cartoon Guide to the Universe, and other books in the series, this is an entertaining and informative way to fill in those ever-widening gaps in our historical knowledge. Can't outline the Monroe Doctrine, discuss the importance of the 14th Amendment, or explain the reasons behind the savings and loan debacle? Gonick's Cartoon History of the United States will set the record straight in a clear and ticklingly visual way.
