«Suspende el alma del lector y, al mismo tiempo, lo arrebata en su belleza.» -El País
Billy y Boyd, dos adolescentes de origen campesino, irán descubriendo las duras reglas del mundo de los adultos al tiempo que encuentran en la naturaleza el sentido heroico de sus vidas. Desde una extraña relación de afecto y complicidad con una loba acosada por los tramperos hasta el asesinato de sus padres a manos de unos cuatreros, Billy aprenderá que la belleza y la rapiña moral representan los límites inseparables de una misma aventura vital.
En la frontera es el segundo volumen de la «Trilogía de la frontera».
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The second volume of the award-winning Border Trilogy—From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road—fulfills the promise of All the Pretty Horsesand at the same time give us a work that is darker and more visionary, a novel with the unstoppable momentum of a classic western and the elegaic power of a lost American myth.
In the late 1930s, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico. With that crossing, he begins an arduous and often dreamlike journey into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikes as suddenly as heat-lightning—a world where there is no order "save that which death has put there."
An essential novel by any measure, The Crossing is luminous and appalling, a book that touches, stops, and starts the heart and mind at once.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
