O ovoj e-knjizi
From the master of the western comes a novel full of romance and adventure. The story begins: Adam Larey gazed with hard and wondering eyes down the silent current of the red river upon which he meant to drift away into the desert. The Rio Colorado was no river to trust. It chafed at its banks as if to engulf them; muddy and thick it swirled and glided along in flood, sweeping in curves back and forth from Arizona to California shore. Majestic and gleaming under the hot sky, it swung southward between wide green borders of willow and cottonwood toward a stark and naked upflung wilderness of mountain peaks, the red ramparts of the unknown and trackless desert.

O autoru
Zane Grey, born Pearl Zane Grey on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio, remains a towering figure in American literature, best known for his vivid depictions of the American frontier. Initially trained as a dentist, Grey's passion for storytelling led him to abandon his practice and pursue writing full-time. His works, often set against the rugged landscapes of the Old West, captured the imagination of early 20th-century readers and helped to popularize the Western genre.Grey's literary career was marked by prolific output and commercial success. His novels, characterized by their adventurous plots and richly detailed settings, offered readers an escape into a romanticized version of the American frontier. Grey's portrayal of complex characters and moral dilemmas resonated with a nation grappling with rapid modernization and a longing for simpler, more heroic times.Controversially, Grey's works have been critiqued for their stereotypical depictions of Native Americans and their sometimes simplistic moral binaries. Despite this, his influence on contemporary writers and the Western genre is undeniable. Authors like Louis L'Amour and Larry McMurtry have cited Grey as a significant inspiration.Beyond his literary contributions, Grey was an avid outdoorsman and conservationist, advocating for the preservation of America's natural landscapes. His passion for the outdoors was not only reflected in his writing but also in his personal life, as he spent considerable time fishing, hunting, and exploring the wilderness.Zane Grey's legacy endures, not just through his extensive bibliography but also through the lasting impact he had on American culture and the Western genre. His ability to weave adventure, romance, and the spirit of the frontier into his narratives continues to captivate readers and inspire storytellers.
