Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. NATIONAL BESTSELLER NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER Startlingly observed, beautifully written, this book is a contemporary classic of the American West. "As good a book as I have read about rural America in a very long time." The New York Times Book ReviewIn 1909 maps still identified eastern Montana as the Great American Desert. But in that year Congress, lobbied heavily by railroad companies, offered 320-acre tracts of land to anyone bold or foolish enough to stake a claim to them. Drawn by shamelessly inventive brochures, countless homesteadersmany of them immigrantswent west to make their fortunes. Most failed. In Bad Land, Jonathan Raban travels through the unforgiving country that was the scene of their dreams and undoing, and makes their story come miraculously alive. In towns named Terry, Calypso, and Ismay (which changed its name to Joe, Montana, in an effort to attract football fans), and in the landscape in between, Raban unearths a vanished episode of American history, with its own ruins, its own heroes and heroines, its own hopeful myths and bitter memories. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, "Bad Land" recounts the exploits of the many homesteaders who came to the prairies of eastern Montana in 1909, drawn by the promise of free land--only to be defeated by a country so arid and unforgiving that maps identified it as the Great American Desert. "A stunning triumph".--"Newsday". 2 maps. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780679759065
