Swarthout glendon (868 Ergebnisse)

Zustand: Fair. From the bestselling author of The Shootist, this classic coming of age tale has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide since its initial publication in 1970. "A moving, tragic, and sociologically potent work of literature. Many similarities to Golding's Lord of the Flies and Knowles's A Separate Peace come to mind" (Library Journal). "Send us a boy--we'll send you a cowboy": It doesn't matter if the kid hates the sight of horses. Or if he still sucks his thumb and wets the bed. He's got to be taught to toe the line. To measure up. To dig in his spurs--because that's the way things are at the Box Canyon Boys Camp in Arizona. Based on the adventures of the author's own son, Bless the Beasts & Children tells a tragicomic tale of a group of disturbed teenaged boys from over-privileged families who are sent by their inattentive parents to camp in hopes that their lazy, urban kids will be toughened up in the cowboy program. Complications arise, but these problem boys band together to take up an important cause. In this remarkable novel, Glendon Swarthout presents an electrifying portrait of six adolescent "misfits" on a desperate mission to save themselves. And, in a society dedicated to one narrow view of success, they learn something important about what it means to be a man. This is "an exciting mission-pursuit story with an engrossing cast of characters" (Publishers Weekly).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Now a major film directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones and co-starring Meryl Streep, Hilary Swank, and John Lithgow, this classic Western novel captures the devastating realities of early frontier life through the eyes of one extraordinary woman. Now a major motion picture directed by Tommy Lee Jones, The Homesman is a devastating story of early pioneers in 1850s American West. It celebrates the ones we hear nothing of: the brave women whose hearts and minds were broken by a life of bitter hardship. A "homesman" must be found to escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium. When none of the county's men steps up, the job falls to Mary Bee Cuddy--ex-teacher, spinster, indomitable and resourceful. Brave as she is, Mary Bee knows she cannot succeed alone. The only companion she can find is the low-life claim jumper George Briggs. Thus begins a trek east, against the tide of colonization, against hardship, Indian attacks, ice storms, and loneliness--a timeless classic told in a series of tough, fast-paced adventures. In an unprecedented sweep, Glendon Swarthout's novel won both the Western Writers of America's Spur Award and the Western Heritage Wrangler Award. A new afterword by the author's son Miles Swarthout tells of his parents Glendon and Kathryn's discovery of and research into the lives of the oft-forgotten frontier women who make The Homesman as moving and believable as it is unforgettable.…
