Publisher Description
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
Immerse yourself in the gritty realism of the American Frontier in Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurty – a powerful, triumphant tribute to the American West and a masterful epic from the screenwriter of Brokeback Mountain.
This is the story of a group of audacious cowboys on a perilous cattle drive across the sprawling wilderness, from Texas to Montana. Bound by duty and hardened by the relentless frontier, their shared journey embodies the enduring spirit of the West.
An iconic creation by the accomplished author of The Last Picture Show and Texasville, Lonesome Dove transcends boundaries – more than an adventure, beyond any love story. The saga paints the American West with a palette of nuanced characters, from heroes to outlaws, in a narrative that is as unflinching as it is captivating.
This novel, the first published, chronologically third in McMurtry’s esteemed Lonesome Dove quartet, depicts an enduring American experience. A must-read for fans of evocative Western Americana, McMurtry propels you into the heart of 19th-century America, its triumphs and betrayals bound together in a dance of heightened drama and human spirit.
Customer Reviews
Read them in the correct order!! Pop
These four books are great, but Apple has them in the wrong series order,
book 1 is Dead Man’s Walk
book 2 is Comanche Moon
book 3 is Lonesome Dove and
book 4 is Streets of Laredo,
Apple ruined the series for me by having them in the wrong order.
The characters and all storylines are all superb, if you read these get them in the right order.
MR Gormley
A must read for anyone who likes a good adventure, and appreciates Something that is well written. A bit slow to begin with, but don’t let that put you of. A master piece that should receive more recognition than it probably gets.
Unparalleled genius
There’s something of the heart in this book that creates a home in your soul. The landscape and the characters but also the subtext. It’s a brutal read at times and thank God for that! You fall in love with characters and find a great swell of emotion for a climax so subtle and poignant you feel like this novel has forever worked its way into your being.
Read the three book before these, they’re fantastic!
