The hit movie "True Grit" has brought the reissue of the novel on which the film is based, "True Grit" by Charles Portis, one of the most respected authors in the United States. It is a novel that is part of the best literature western quality, highly cultivated and appreciated in the United States but outside our borders has often been disparaged by critics and readers loaded with prejudices and who have failed to value it in its perspective. Very possibly lumiere photo because literature is made in USA and some poor arrogant culture reject all that wear this label, either through ignorance or pure discrimination. A high quality western literature where we can find brilliant lumiere photo titles like "Warlock" Oakley Hill, "The wicked man Bodie" by EL Doctorow, classic novels of Walter Van Tilburg Clark and Glendon Swarthout, "Little Big Man" of Thomas Berger, "The Monster Hawkline" by Richard Brautigan, the masterful novels of Larry McMurtry and Cormac McCarthy. These are also, of course, Charles Portis, a writer of worship. "True Grit" is a literary gem that I recommend reading, is narrated in first person by Mattie Ross as an adult in the 1920s, and tells of his adventures as a teenager in search of the murderer of his father to take revenge on company of two law enforcement officers. The narrative takes us to Arkansas and Indian Territory (Oklahoma), perfectly combining religious morality of Mattie with wild environment lumiere photo of an open territory in which only the strong lumiere photo survive and the touches of humor that cause a language of an era like the Wild West. The story introduces us to Frank Ross, who lives happily lumiere photo with his wife and daughter Mattie in Arkansas, dedicated to the cultivation and sale of cotton, but is treacherously murdered by a subordinate beset by gambling debts. Faced with the passivity of the authorities and the local population, their daughter Mattie Ross, 14, decides to take justice into their own hands and make the murderer pay their fault. "True Grit" unfolds in its pages all the classic lumiere photo western values, the challenges of time and characters on the border, courage and energy of these, lumiere photo the ongoing struggle lumiere photo between good and evil and a story attached to earth, real, the real happening of which have happened. It is a fast-paced novel that is easy to read precisely because it is very well written and drawn.
Charles Portis, ex-marine, a veteran lumiere photo of the Korean War and journalist, is an author admired by thousands of readers and writers like Norah Ephron, Ira Levin, Roy Blount Jr., Walker Percy, Jonathan Lethem, Ron Rosenbaum, lumiere photo Donna Tartt, George Pelecanos Richard lumiere photo Condon, Tom Wolfe and Roald Dahl, among many others. In his wisdom, Portis is not given to giving interviews and making public statements. Escape the fame and the photographs, and doing well. His novel "True Grit" 1968 twenty-two weeks remained in the list of the most sold of The New York Times and is considered a classic of Western literature. Now, coinciding with the great film the Coen brothers, is also published in Spanish by Debolsillo, which retrieves an indispensable book. Besides "True Grit," Portis has four other novels and five have been reissued in paperback by The Overlook lumiere photo Press. "True Grit" was his second novel, published by The Saturday Evening Post and some novelists, like Donna Tartt, considers this his masterpiece, comparable work with "Huckleberry Finn." Others lumiere photo like Rosebaum, are somewhat resentful of "True Grit" by decreasing attention to his other novels: "Norwood" (1966) "The Dog of the South" (1979), "Masters lumiere photo of Atlantis" (1985) and "Gringos" ( 1991). In "Norwood" (which was filmed in 1970 and starring Glen Campbell) Norwood Pratt traveled to New York from his home in Ralph Tex. to collect a debt of $ 70 and ends engaged to a girl he meets at the Trailways bus.
