The Border Triology Cormac McCarthy

The Border Triology Cormac McCarthy Publisher: Everyman’s Library Hardcover ISBN: 9781857152616 Cormac McCarthy’s award-winning and best-selling Border Trilogy forms a powerful modern American epic. Set on the ranches of the American Southwest in the 1930s and along the Mexican borderlands, these novels chart the lives of young men drawn by the stark beauty of the landscape and the harsh promise of freedom, only to discover that dreams often come at a cost.

In All the Pretty Horses, John Grady Cole, devastated by the sale of his family’s Texas ranch, rides south across the border in search of the cowboy life. There he finds work breaking horses—and becomes entangled in a dangerous and ill-fated romance.

In The Crossing, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been preying on his family’s ranch and chooses to return her to the Mexican mountains. His journey becomes a perilous odyssey, marked by loss and hardship.

Years later, the two drifters’ paths converge in Cities of the Plain, a moving story of friendship, loyalty, and doomed love.

Haunting and lyrical, McCarthy’s trilogy stands as a darkly beautiful elegy for the fading American frontier and a world on the brink of change.
