Overview

Cormac McCarthy's award-winning and bestselling trio of novels, The Border Trilogy, appearing here in one volume for the first time, constitutes a genuine American epic. The young men in these novels come of age on southwestern ranches in the 1930s, while across the border Mexico beckons them with its desolate beauty and the cruel promise of a place where a dreams are paid for in blood.

In All the Pretty Horses, young John Grady Cole, dispossessed by the sale of his family's Texas ranch, heads across the border in search of the cowboy life, finding a job breaking horses and a dangerously ill-fated romance. In The Crossing, 16-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch and instead of killing it decides to take it on a perilous journey home to the mountains of Mexico. These drifters come together years later in Cities of the Plain, a magnificent tale of friendship and passion. McCarthy's haunting evocation of two young men poised on the edge of a world about to change forever serves as a darkly beautiful elegy for the American frontier.

Editorial Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle
An American classic to stand with the finest literary achievements of the century.
Scott Veale
He is perhaps the greatest writer since Melville on the subject of work....What would be mind-numbing description in less competent hands is here completely riveting.
New York Times Book Review

    Writing the West

    Cormac McCarthy writes the West as raw and as true as possible. This trilogy is amazing for its combination of gorgeous lyricism and deafening realism.

    so far so good

    I just purchased the border trilogy and am finishing the first story in the trilogy "all the pretty horses." This story is beautifully written and the characters are very emotionally compelling. I have enjoyed the setting of the story and the plot seems unique to me. McCarthy's style of writing is so vivid I am easily transported to Central Mexico during the 1950's. I love some of the themes of the story including loss and love, cultural irreconciliation, and some mens' difficulty accepting changing times. This story will certainly take its place amongst American classics. I can only hope that the next 2 stories in the triology are as magnificent as this one!
