Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Forlorn River is a mature example of Zane Grey's romantic Western, joining cattle-country adventure to a meditation on loyalty, inheritance, and the testing loneliness of the frontier. Set along an austere desert watercourse, the novel follows ranching families, cowboys, and outlaws whose conflicts over love, reputation, and property reveal the fragile ethics of settlement. Grey's prose alternates swift melodramatic action with expansive landscape description, placing the book within the early-twentieth-century Western tradition that transformed borderland history into moral romance. Zane Grey, trained as a dentist but made famous as one of America's defining popular novelists, drew much of his authority from travel through Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and the wider Southwest. His fascination with open spaces, horsemanship, violence, and codes of masculine honor shaped Forlorn River. The novel reflects both his nostalgia for a vanishing frontier and his belief that wilderness could expose character more truthfully than civilization. Readers interested in classic Western fiction will find Forlorn River especially rewarding. It offers suspense, romance, and vivid scenery, while also preserving the values and limitations of its genre. For admirers of Grey, it is an essential work; for newcomers, it is an accessible entrance into his imaginative West. 136 pp. Englisch.…
