An epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, Blood Meridian brilliantly subverts the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the "wild west." Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.

4.5 (Muito bom)

Sangue, sangue e mais sangue

Um típico faroeste, violento, sangrento e árido. Provavelmente o livro mais violento que já li, mas tão bem escrito, com personagens tão multifacetados que a leitura se torna prazeirosa. Inspirado num bando real de cavaleiros que percorriam o velho oeste americano chacinando e coletando escalpes de indios na tentativa de colonização dessas terras selvagens.
