**ORA VINCITORE DELL'OSCAR PER IL MIGLIOR REGISTA 2022 E DI DUE PREMI BAFTA 2022** Scopri il racconto poetico e cupo di Thomas Savage di una piccola città all'inizio del XX secolo in America. Phil e George sono fratelli e comproprietari del più grande ranch della loro valle del Montana. Phil è quello intelligente, George il laborioso. Phil è alto e spigoloso; George è tarchiato e silenzioso. Phil è un brillante giocatore di scacchi, un lettore vorace, un narratore eloquente; George impara lentamente e si dedica all'attività. Dormono nella stanza che condividevano da ragazzi, e così è stato per quarant'anni. Quando George sposa inaspettatamente una giovane vedova e la porta a vivere al ranch, Phil inizia una campagna implacabile per distruggere la nuova moglie di suo fratello. Ma non ha un improbabile protettore. Dal suo viscerale primo paragrafo al suo devastante colpo di scena finale, The Power of the Dog ti terrà nella sua morsa. CON UNA POSTFAZIONE DI ANNIE PROULX "Con i suoi echi di La valle dell'Eden e I segreti di Brokeback Mountain, questa storia soddisfacentemente complessa merita un'altra possibilità di raccogliere l'ammirazione del pubblico" Guardian.

Thomas Savage was born on 25 April 1915 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to a large sheep-ranching family. His parents divorced when he was two years old, and on his mother’s remarriage Savage moved with her to Montana. He studied at the University of Montana and worked as a ranch hand for several years, but when an article he wrote on horse-breaking was published in Coronet magazine in 1937, Savage enrolled at Colby College in Maine to study English. He went on to have a variety of jobs, including welder, insurance man and plumber as well as teaching English at Brandeis and Vassar. His first novel, The Pass, was published in 1944 and he went on to write twelve more, including The Power of the Dog. He was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 1980. Thomas Savage died in Virginia on 25 July 2003, aged eighty-eight.
