Sobre este artículo
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Near fine. The first volume on the Border Trilogy. Winner of the National Book Award & the National Book Critics Circle Award.
Made into a film starring Matt Damon. First edition (stated). A very good copy in a near fine dust jacket. The top edge of the page block is lightly spotted, the page block is just separating from the spine, and there is some mild bumping and shelfwear to the top edge of the jacket. A nice enough, but not perfect, copy.

Sinopsis
Cormac McCarthy is an American novelist and playwright. He has also written plays and screenplays. This novel, All The Pretty Horses , won the National Book Award in 1992. The story reads like a Western novel, but is set in 1949 and revolves around the life of a 16-year old Texan named John Grady Cole. After his parent’s marriage ends, he finds himself at the end of a long line of ranchers, without a family ranch to work. So he sets out for Mexico on horseback with two companions. By turns both comic and tragic, the elaborate character development and McCarthy’s superb descriptive style make this book a rare treat. All the Pretty Horses is the first volume in the Border Trilogy . The other two volumes are The Crossing and Cities of the Plain .

I love this book. The story is gripping and evokes all kinds of emotions. The chacters are so well developed you feel like you know them personally. Descriptions of the land they travel through bring to mind the dry and breathless heat of the desert. The action scenes come to life before your mind's eye. It is superb.

McCarthy does have a vivid descriptive style but the plot is predictable. Where did he get the title? Got so tired of the characters lighting up a cigaret.Don't quite understand why it got the National Book Award.

A great book, but not McCarthy's best, by a long shot.
