Valor de ley
by Charles PortisMattie Ross, de catorce años, se adentra en el Territorio Indio para buscar al criminal que mató a su padre y vengar su muerte. Dicen que no se puede saber qué anida en el corazón de un hombre. En un viaje para comprar caballos, Frank Ross es asesinado por uno de sus trabajadores por una montura, ciento cincuenta dólares y dos piezas de oro. Con catorce años, Mattie, la hija de Ross, está dispuesta a vengar una muerte que ha quedado impune y a reclamar el cuerpo de su padre. Recurrirá al comisario más «implacable y cruel» de Arkansas, el tuerto Rooster Cogburn. Se adentrará en el Territorio Indio si es necesario. Luchará contra cualquier forajido. Porque Mattie quiere demostrar que el suyo es un corazón noble. Y que su valor es de ley. Valor de ley es un clásico americano ambientado en el Oeste, una novela amada por generaciones de lectores desde su publicación en 1968 y la fuente de inspiración de dos películas formidables. Un libro tan delicioso como aterrador sobre la crueldad, la venganza y la ineludible entrada a la vida adulta. Y un ejemplo de coraje y vitalidad indestructible, como su conmovedora protagonista. Opinión:«Valor de ley es la mejor novela con que me topado en mucho tiempo. ¿Qué libro me ha proporcionado mayor placer en los últimos cinco años? ¿O en los últimos veinte? Pues no sé. ¡Vaya escritor!»Roald DAhl
