Informazioni su questo audiolibro
The acclaimed first novel from one of America’s most celebrated novelists, the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road • Set is a remote community in rural Tennessee in the years between the two world wars, it is the story of a young boy and a bootlegger who, unbeknownst to either of them, has killed the boy’s father.
The boy, John Wesley Rattner, and the outlaw, Marion Sylder—together with Rattner’s Uncle Ather, who belongs to a former age in his communion with nature and his stoic independence—enact a drama that seems born of the land itself. All three are heroes of an intense and compelling celebration of values lost to time and industrialization.
“McCarthy has a voice that is unmistakably his own ... with a passion most writers couldn’t muster or wouldn’t dare.”—The Boston Globe
