Border Trilogy Series Collection Cormac McCarthy All The Pretty Horses The Crossing Cities Of The Plain

Border Trilogy Series Collection 3 Books Set By Cormac McCarthy (All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain) — a complete paperback boxed-style set for readers who love spare, powerful prose and wide Western landscapes. Ideal for book lovers, collectors of contemporary American fiction, parents seeking classic coming-of-age literature for older teens, or teachers building a curriculum around modern classics. This brand new paperback edition collects three landmark novels that trace youth, loss, and the harsh beauty of the borderlands. All the Pretty Horses: John Grady Cole is the last bewildered survivor of long generations of Texas ranchers. Finding himself cut off from the only life he has ever wanted, he sets out for Mexico with his friend Lacey Rawlins. Befriending a third boy on the way, they find a country beyond their imagining: barren and beautiful, rugged yet cruelly civilized; a place where dreams are paid for in blood. This novel combines lyrical description with a classic bildungsroman structure — perfect for readers drawn to atmospheric, character-driven stories. The Crossing: Set on the south-western ranches in the years before the Second World War, Cormac McCarthy's The Crossing follows the fortunes of sixteen-year-old Billy Parham and his younger brother Boyd. Fascinated by an elusive wolf that has been marauding his family's property, Billy captures the animal — but rather than kill it, sets out impulsively for the mountains of Mexico to return it to where it came from. A quiet epic, The Crossing explores moral complexity, grief, and the border between human intention and natural instinct. Cities of the Plain: In Cormac McCarthy's Cities of the Plain, two men marked by the boyhood adventures of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing now stand together, between their vivid pasts and uncertain futures, to confront a country changing beyond recognition. This concluding volume brings emotional weight and a sense of historical shift t
