This graphic novel adaptation brings Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning postapocalyptic tale to life through the artistry of acclaimed cartoonist Manu Larcenet. With McCarthy's approval, the adaptation captures the haunting journey of a father and son navigating a desolate world, emphasizing themes of survival, love, and the human spirit amid despair. The visual storytelling enhances the emotional depth of the original narrative, making it accessible to both new readers and fans of the classic novel.

Cormac McCarthy’s award-winning, bestselling trio of novels chronicles the coming-of-age of two young men in the south west of America. John Grady Cole and Billy Parham, two cowboys of the old school, are poised on the edge of a world about to change forever. Their journeys across the border into Mexico, each an adventure fraught with fear and pain, mark a passage into adulthood, and eventual salvation. In All the Pretty Horses, young John Grady Cole, dispossessed by the sale of his family’s Texas ranch, heads across the border in search of the cowboy life, where he finds a job breaking horses, and a dangerously ill-fated romance. In The Crossing, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a wolf that has been marauding his family’s ranch and, instead of killing it, decides to take it on a perilous journey home to the mountains of Mexico.These two drifters come together years later in Cities of the Plain, a magnificent tale of friendship and passion. In the vanishing world of the Old West, blood and violence are conditions of life. Beautiful and brutal, filled with sorrow and humour, The Border Trilogy is both an epic love story and a fierce elegy for the American frontier.

Arguably the masterpiece of a novelist as highly praised and scarcely read as any living writer, the Vintage Contemporaries reprint of "Suttree" should help to bring McCarthy the readers to match his many awards and voluminous reviews.

A young boy comes of age in the desolate mountains of the Mexican border, in the second volume of the late Cormac McCarthy's legendary Border Trilogy.

Texas welder Llewelyn Moss makes a dubious discovery while out hunting antelope near the banks of the Rio Grande: a dead man, a stash of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash. Moss packs out the money, knowing his actions will imperil him for the rest of his life. He's soon on the run, left to his own devices against vengeful drug dealers, a former Special Forces agent, and a psychopathic freelance killer with ice blue eyes. Shades of Dostoyevsky, Hemingway, and Faulkner resonate in McCarthy's blend of lyrical narrative, staccato dialogue, and action-packed scenes splattered with bullets and blood. McCarthy fans will revel in the author's renderings of the raw landscapes of Mexico and the Southwest and the precarious souls scattered along the border that separates the two. Many are the men here who maim in the name of drugs. "If you killed 'em all," says the local sheriff, "they'd have to build an annex onto hell."

Vol. 1, Àll the pretty horses'. When BIlly and his family come to New Mexico in the 1930s, he becomes obsessed with a wolf whose existence is threatened by ranchers.
