Books by Cormac McCarthy

Portrait of Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy stands among the most distinctive voices in modern American fiction, renowned for his stark prose and unflinching depictions of human endurance. His novels often explore the fragile boundary between civilisation and wilderness, blending biblical cadence with cinematic intensity. From the desolate frontiers of the American South-West to post-apocalyptic landscapes, his writing captures both the brutality and the strange beauty of existence.

A Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, McCarthy's work includes such landmarks as *Blood Meridian*, *The Road* and the Border Trilogy. His mastery of rhythm, silence and moral complexity has influenced generations of writers and filmmakers alike. Reading McCarthy is to encounter language stripped to its elemental power-stories that confront the darkness yet search, persistently, for grace.

    Book SynopsisEncuadernación: Tapa blanda con solapa.La carretera és la història profundament commovedora del viatge d'un pare i un fill. Tots dos caminen sols per un paisatge apocalíptic on res no es mou, llevat de les cendres arrossegades pel vent. El cel és fosc i el fred és tan terrible que és capaç de trencar les pedres. No tenen res: només una pistola per defensar-se de les bandes violentes que sotgen el camí, la roba que duen posada, un carretó amb menjar recollit de les escombraries... I l'un a l'altre.Mereixedora del Premi Pulitzer 2007, aquesta magistral novella planteja sense embuts un futur on no hi ha esperança, però on un pare i el seu fill, \"l'un per l'altre el món sencer\", resisteixen per amor. Imponent pel que fa a la profunditat visionària, La carretera és una lúcida meditació sobre el pitjor i el millor de què som capaços: destrucció extrema, tenacitat desesperada i la tendresa que manté dues persones vives enmig de la devastació total.\"McCarthy despulla els se

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEARBlends the rowdy humor of some of McCarthy’s early novels with the parched tone of his more apocalyptic later work. —The New York TimesStella Maris, the second volume in The Passenger series, is available now.1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flight bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul. Traversing the American South, from the garrulous barrooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, The Passenger is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness.

    Book SynopsisFrom the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road comes a taut, expansively imagined drama about four generations of an American family.The setting is Louisville, Kentucky, in the 1970s. The Telfairs are stonemasons and have been for generations. Ben Telfair has given up his education to apprentice himself to his grandfather, Papaw, a man who knows that true masonry is not held together by cement but...by the warp of the world. Out of the love that binds these two men and the gulf that separates them from the Telfairs who have forsaken—or dishonored—the family trade, Cormac McCarthy has crafted a drama that bears all the hallmarks of his great fiction: precise observation of the physical world; language that has the bite of common speech and the force of Biblical prose; and a breathtaking command of the art of storytelling.Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest

    Book SynopsisEncuadernación: RústicaColección: ContemporáneaEl cazador y veterano de Vietnam Llewelyn Moss descrubre por casualidad la sangrienta escena de una carnicería entre narcos en algún lugar de la frontera entre Texas y México. Entre los cuerpos y los paquetes de heroína, descubre también algo más de dos millones de dólares. A partir de este momento comienza la violenta carrera de Moss por escapar de los que quieren darle caza: Wells, ex agente de las Fuerzas Especiales contratado por un poderoso cartel; Antón Chigurth, una implacable máquina de matar, para quien recuperar el dinero de sus jefes es apenas la excusa para descargar una y otra vez su arma y poner en práctica su máxima: no dejar nunca testigos; y un sheriff veterano de la segunda guerra mundial que añora los buenos tiempos y esconde un doloroso secreto que lo mantiene vivo. El resultado es una novela que es mucho más que un thriller corriente (Time Magazine) que te dejará jadeando y atemorizado (Sam Shepard). No hay mane
