Titles in This Set All the Pretty Horses The Crossing Cities of the Plain Details Condition: New Format: Paperback Publisher: Picador Series: Border Trilogy Author: Cormac McCarthy Overview The Border Trilogy gathers three of Cormac McCarthy's most acclaimed novels into one brand new paperback set. Following young men navigating the harsh, beautiful borderlands between Texas and Mexico across the twentieth century, these interconnected stories of loss, love and moral reckoning are considered among the finest works of modern American literature. Perfect for readers of literary fiction, Westerns and coming-of-age sagas, this collection offers a complete introduction to McCarthy's spare, unforgettable prose in one gift-ready set. About the Books All the Pretty Horses introduces John Grady Cole, the last in a long line of Texas ranchers, who rides into Mexico with his friend Lacey Rawlins in search of a life he can no longer find at home. What they discover is a country both barren and beautiful, where dreams come at a price paid in blood — a novel that won the National Book Award and established McCarthy as a major literary voice. The Crossing follows sixteen-year-old Billy Parham, who captures a wolf preying on his family's livestock and, rather than kill it, sets out on an impulsive journey to return the animal to the mountains of Mexico. What follows is a haunting meditation on grief and the pull of the borderlands. Cities of the Plain brings the trilogy to its close, reuniting characters from the first two novels as ranch hands John Grady and Billy face a vanishing way of life along the New Mexico border. Tender and elegiac, it closes the saga with the emotional weight the earlier volumes have built toward. Together, these three novels form a modern American epic of youth and wilderness.
