Klappentext
Savage violence and cruel morality reign in the backwater deserts of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men , a tale of one man's dark opportunity - and the darker consequences that spiral forth. Adapted for the screen by the Coen Brothers (Fargo , True Grit), winner of four Academy Awards (including Best Picture).
'A fast, powerful read, steeped with a deep sorrow about the moral degradation of the legendary American West' - Financial Times
- Llewelyn Moss, a Vietnam veteran, is hunting antelope near the Rio Grande when he stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice - leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything.
And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?
'It's hard to think of a contemporary writer more worth reading' - Independent
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
Praise for Cormac McCarthy:
'McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute' - Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren
'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' - Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series
'In presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' - Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain
