Contains All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing and Cities of the Plain. A landmark of our literature and times, an epic that reaches from tales of the old west, a world now past, into the new millennium, the Border Trilogy tells of the passing of childhood, the loss of innocence, of love and dreams, of land and horses, and of the still point between vivid past and uncertain future. From the ranches where John Grady Cole and Billy Parham grow up, the horizon is always filled with the mountains of Mexico, a temptation, an invitation, looming over all the cities of the plain. The boys are driven - by fear, by love, by revenge - to cross the border again and again, each crossing itself a rite of passage. "In a world of nine-day wonders and literary charlatans, McCarthy speaks to us in the thrilling, apocalyptic tones of an Old Testament prophet. We must treasure him." Sunday Telegraph

Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. A lovely, Near Fine or better set of McCarthy's Border Trilogy. All books appearing unread, with just trivial wear, in bright, clean dust jackets. Considered a trilogy, although written and published over a span of six years. Detailing the rough, cowboy lifestyle of protagonists living near the US-Mexico border. Winner of the "National Book Award" and the basis for multiple film adaptations, McCarthy at his best. "[McCarthy] is the great pessimist of American literature, using his dervish sentences to illuminate a world in which almost everything (including punctuation) has already come to dust" (The Guardian). Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.
