Omschrijving
The first in his legendary Border Trilogy, All The Pretty Horses was Cormac McCarthy's breakthrough novel – a coming-of-age western that remains a classic of American literature.
A darkly shining work . . . executed with consummate skill and much subtlety - the effect is magnificent
An exhilarating, exceptional novel
All the Pretty Horses is indisputably a masterpiece.
One of the greatest American novels of this or any time
[A] totalizing reality, where meditation and resistance are two components of one reality, a destiny of wandering the borderlands of the U.S. and Mexico in the postwar twentieth century
