Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House [1985], 1985. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. [11], 3-337, [2] pp. Quarter red cloth over red paper boards, gold lettering and two red rules on the spine. Illustrated title page. Price of $17.95 on the front flap of the dust jacket. McCarthy's classic, gruesome tale of American westward expansion in the middle of the nineteenth century. Litrerary critic Harold Bloom regarded Cormac McCarthy as one of the greatest American novelists of his generation. This novel made Time Magazine's top 100 list of the greatest English-language novels published between 1925 and 2005. A lovely example. Faint foxing to the textblock, mild, sporadic foxing in the pageblock; a tiny repair (3/4 c.m. wide) to the jacket's spine panel.

El Jan 22 2024, un lector dijo:
Random House, 1985, New York. The genuine American apocalyptic novel, in my opinion, is Blood Meridian, which is still relevant today even though it was published fifteen years ago. As Cormac McCarthy is a deserving student of both Melville and Faulkner, the achieved notoriety of Moby-Dick and As I Lay Dying is enhanced by Blood Meridian. A novel as powerful and unforgettable as Blood Meridian has probably not been written by any other contemporary American novelist, not even Thomas Pynchon "(Harold Bloom). According to Michael Herr, McCarthy's work is a masterpiece and can only be compared to the greatest writers of all time, Melville and Faulkner."
I had also reviewed this book on shabd.in and kindle too.

Both majestic and terrible, definitely one of the hallmark pieces of literature from the 20th century. You won't be disappointed!
