Cities of the Plain: Book 3 of Border Trilogy (The Border Trilogy #3)
by Cormac MccarthyTwo men marked by the boyhood adventures of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing now stand together, between their vivid pasts and uncertain futures, to confront a country changing beyond recognition. In the fall of 1952, John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are cowboys on a New Mexico ranch encroached upon from the north by the military. On the southern horizon are the mountains of Mexico, where one of the men is drawn again and again, in this story of friendships and passion, to a love as dangerous as it is inevitable. 'In a lovely and terrible landscape of natural beauty and impending loss we find John Grady; a young cowboy of the old school, trusted by men and horses, and a fragile young woman, whose salvation becomes his obsession ... McCarthy makes the sweeping plains a miracle' Scotsman. 'This haunting, deeply felt novel completes one of the literary masterworks of the 1990s' Daily Telegraph. 'The completed trilogy emerges as a landmark in American literature' Guardian.
Citizens Creek: A Novel
by Lalita TademyThe New York Times bestselling author of the Oprah Book Club Pick Cane River brings us the evocative story of a once-enslaved man who buys his freedom after serving as a translator during the American Indian Wars, and his granddaughter, who sustains his legacy of courage.Cow Tom, born into slavery in Alabama in 1810 and sold to a Creek Indian chief before his tenth birthday, possessed an extraordinary gift: the ability to master languages. As the new country developed westward, and Indians, settlers, and blacks came into constant contact, Cow Tom became a key translator for his Creek master and was hired out to US military generals. His talent earned him money--but would it also grant him freedom? And what would become of him and his family in the aftermath of the Civil War and the Indian Removal westward? Cow Tom's legacy lives on--especially in the courageous spirit of his granddaughter Rose. She rises to leadership of the family as they struggle against political and societal hostility intent on keeping blacks and Indians oppressed. But through it all, her grandfather's indelible mark of courage inspires her--in mind, in spirit, and in a family legacy that never dies. Written in two parts portraying the parallel lives of Cow Tom and Rose, Citizens Creek is a beautifully rendered novel that takes the reader deep into a little known chapter of American history. It is a breathtaking tale of identity, community, family--and above all, the power of an individual's will to make a difference.

En este último volumen de la Trilogía de la frontera, McCarthy reúne a John Grady y a Billy Parham, los protagonistas de las dos primeras novelas. Dos antihéroes que arrastran un pasado de desarraigo y verdadero exilio interior en un mundo en el que su forma de vida, individualista e independiente, se ve marginada por la invasión de la modernidad. La acción arranca en 1952 en un rancho de Nuevo México que está a punto de ser expropiado por el ejército. Con el escenario de fondo de las tierras fronterizas entre Estados Unidos y México, lugar de encuentro y desencuentro de dos universos aparentemente divergentes, la vida de ambos protagonistas se verá atravesada por la aparición de unos valores en los que nunca encontrarán acomodo. Condenados por una historia que ya no cuenta con ellos, Billy y Grady devienen así los verdaderos supervivientes de un mundo en el que la lealtad, el valor, el esfuerzo y la vida en contacto con la naturaleza eran algo más que una reliquia. Reseña:«Cormac McCarthy pertenece a la saga de los enigmáticos, como Pynchon o Salinger, y su obra alcanza las cimas de un Melville o un Faulkner.»La Vanguardia
