The Time It Never Rained, 2
ISBN: 9780912646893 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the 1950s, West Texas suffered the longest drought in the memory of most men then living. By that time, Charlie Flagg, the central character of this novel, was one of a dying breed of men who wrested their living from the harsh land of West Texas. The struggle made them fiercely independent, a trait personified in Charlie s persistence throughout the seven dry years, his refusal to accept defeat, his opposition to federal aid programs and their inevitable bureaucratic regulations, his determination to stay on the land he loves and respects even as he suffers with that land. Charlie is by...

Slaughter
ISBN: 9780875653716 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the 1870s, buffalo hunters moved onto the High Plains of Texas. The Plains Indians watched hunters slaughter the animals that gave them shelter and clothing, food and weapons. The battles at and near the ruins of a trading fort, Adobe Walls, became symbolic of the struggles between hunters and the Comanche.
In this aptly titled novel, Texas novelist Elmer Kelton shows his uncanny ability to present both sides of a clash between cultures. With a firm grasp of Comanche life, Kelton presents The People as very human and very threatened. Equally clear is the picture of Anglos found on the...

Noah's Ride
ISBN: 9780875653341 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Naked Came the Stranger" set the format, but not always the tone or subject matter, for a whole string of books that appeared in the 1970s. Called collaborative or serial novels, the multi-author works were set in the suburbs, the Blue Ridge Mountains, Florida, the American West, but never in Texas. Now a dozen Texas authors have gotten together to create a good old-fashioned western novel. Each contributing author will write a chapter that builds on the work that precedes his or her chapter.
The plot features Noah, a plantation slave who escapes and makes his way to the Union forces... "Naked Came the Stranger" set the format, but not always the tone or subject matter, for a whole string of books that appeared in the 1970s. Called co...
