FEATURED ON A GREAT BOOK WITH BARACK OBAMA
'One of the greatest American novels of this or any time' GUARDIAN
A coming-of-age western and a grand love story, All the Pretty Horses is a classic of American literature and the first instalment in Cormac McCarthy's acclaimed Border Trilogy.
1949. At sixteen years-old, John Grady Cole is the last bewildered survivor of long generations of Texas ranchers. Finding himself cut off from the only life he has ever wanted, he sets out for Mexico with his friend Lacey Rawlins. Befriending a third boy on the way, they find a country beyond their imagining: barren and beautiful, rugged yet cruelly civilized; a place where dreams are paid for in blood.
A classic of American literature and a grand love story, Cormac McCarthy's novel is about the passing of childhood, of innocence and a vanished American age.
Adapted into a film starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz.
All the Pretty Horses is followed in the Border Trilogy by The Crossing and Cities of the Plain.
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
