Overview
Una impresionante e imaginativa fábula moral acerca de la naturaleza de la violencia y la justicia, en su 25 aniversario de publicada.
Las autoridades mexicanas y del estado de Texas organizan una expedición paramilitar para acabar con el mayor número posible de indios. Es el Grupo Glanton, y tienen como líder espiritual al juez Holden, un ser violento y cruel. Nunca duerme, viola y asesina niños de ambos sexos y afirma que nunca morirá.
Todo cambia cuando los carniceros de Glanton dejan de asesinar indios y empiezan a exterminar a los mexicanos que les pagan. Se instaura así la ley de la selva, el terreno moral donde la figura del juez se convierte en una especie de dios arbitrario.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION • An epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America’s westward expansion, Blood Meridian brilliantly subverts the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West—from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road
Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's new novel, The Passenger, coming October '22.
