From Amazon.com

Larry McMurtry, in books like The Last Picture Show, has depicted the modern degeneration of the myth of the American West. The subject of Lonesome Dove, cowboys herding cattle on a great trail-drive, seems like the very stuff of that cliched myth, but McMurtry bravely tackles the task of creating meaningful literature out of it. At first the novel seems the kind of anti-mythic, anti-heroic story one might expect: the main protagonists are a drunken and inarticulate pair of former Texas Rangers turned horse rustlers. Yet when the trail begins, the story picks up an energy and a drive that makes heroes of these men. Their mission may be historically insignificant, or pointless--McMurtry is smart enough to address both possibilities--but there is an undoubted valor in their lives. The result is a historically aware, intelligent, romantic novel of the mythic west that won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. This text refers to an alternate Mass Market Paperback edition.


Product Description

A love story, an adventure, and an epic of the frontier, Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning classic Lonesome Dove, the third book in the Lonesome Dove tetralogy, is the grandest novel ever written about the last, defiant wilderness of America. Journey to the dusty little Texas town of Lonesome Dove and meet an unforgettable assortment of heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Indians and settlers. Richly authentic, beautifully written, and always dramatic, Lonesome Dove is a book to make us laugh, weep, dream, and remember. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Something for everyone to relate to, Janv. 23 2008
This review is from: Lonesome Dove (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of my favourite books. There are so many characters and yet it's never confusing. You fall for every one of them and when you finally finish this cowboy epic you are left feeling a blend of satisfaction and sadness. This is more then just a book about the Wild West. It's about people in all walks of life... going through life in a time that few can relate to.

This review is from: Lonesome Dove (Mass Market Paperback)
I recently reread "Lonesome Dove" It was like comming back to an old friend. I read this classic of American literature 20 years ago, and I found it just as enjoyable the second time around. Gus, Woodrow, Jake, Pea eye, Lorena, are all good friends and it was great to spend sometime with them again. If you read only one western in your life it should be "Lonesome Dove."

This review is from: Lonesome Dove (Mass Market Paperback)
This book actually transported me to the old west. I savoured every detail of the period, right down to the simple language the characters spoke to one another. The book meanders along at a slow and steady pace and never rushes anywhere. (The labours that went into creating a sign took more pages than I thought possible.) With that said, I wouldn't have wanted it to go anywhere anyway because it was able to slow my pace down to that of the time it talks about. That relaxation was truly a treasure of the book.
