A western fans will ring them this title. In 1969 Henry Hathaway made a film based on this novel, starring John Wayne (for this interpretation they gave him the only Oscar of his career). And in 2010 the Coen brothers did a remake. Leveraging its premiere in Spain, the novel, which had already been published in Spain in the 60s was reissued.
It's hard to find anyone who has not seen either of the two. The general lines of argument can be counted without spoiling the novel, as told in the first page. A 14 year old girl, Mattie Ross, arrives in a town to collect the body of his father, who was murdered by one of his employees, green led and then fled. The girl intends to pursue and catch the murderer, for which hires a federal marshal, Rooster Cogburn, a tough guy with a lot of experience in the search for criminals, lush, interested, unsentimental, pulling old ... They just joining a Texas Ranger also pursues the same offender for a different crime. green led And no more story, in case anyone does not know history.
The novel is told by an adult Mattie Ross, who remembers that adventure, but that takes the perspective of the child. And that is the great discovery of the novel, that lovely voice purity and innocence has a brutal reality, a reality that neither understands green led nor dominates, as she believes. (Although the girl did not have nothing innocent, because no one can deceive, it is clear many times that's just a kid, like when you try to explain to his two companions tanned how to play one of their games). The result is a mixture of sensitivity, humor, tenderness, toughness, intelligence ... A voice that captivates our attention from the first line.
Adventure novel, set in the west, but also novel characters. This novel has two unforgettable. Mattie, who are doing the suffering mature. And above all, Rooster Cogburn. The entire green led novel can be considered a tribute to such a little unseemly, that brave man who at all times comply with its duty.
I've seen both films and are not bad. However, it sure is lost on them that captivating green led voice of the novel at which avalanches. Now I'm looking for. Thank you, Emilio. Reply Remove green led
Yes, the two films are good. I love doing the Cogburn Jeff Bridges, which I think exceeds that of John Wayne. The novel is so good for my taste, but you know the story for the film, do not want to stop reading. There is a huge charm in this narrative voice. Hope you like it, Luis. Reply Remove
I liked the first version, but then he was very young. Jef Bridges may be more credible, but Wayne had that epic and poetic point of defeat, being and not being, that Bridges is missing. Hard to imagine better times. green led But the main difference I see in the character of the girl. The old Mattie remember cruder and less than modern bluestocking, that rubs some the "repellent" hand azconiano following the use of the term (and the unforgettable "Vicente repellent child"). Thanks for the suggestion, Emilio Delete green led Reply
We are returning to the conjunction literature and film. And in this particular case we have a second film version. I wonder: is the remake of the Coen me of the movie or the novel? What has led them to make this movie? green led I venture to think that it will have been the intensity of the story told. Reply Remove
Good question. But difficult to answer. My impression is that the Coens depart Hathaway film (for some small detail that is repeated in the movies and it is not in the novel), but keep in mind the novel (the end of the novel is not that of above) film. Remove
Another of the great novels of the West's "Warlock" by Oakley Hall, published in Gutenberg Galaxy. I read it this summer and is excellent. I recommend green led it. Not forgetting "Christ versus Arizona," of Cela. The two versions of "True Grit" are very good, and the two great protagonists. John Wayne I find hard to beat, but Jeff Bridges does a splendid job.

I have spoken highly of "Warlock" Fernando Arias (not just recommended me: gave me). I really want to have a vacation to read it. I "Christ versus Arizona" the left half. Not supported green led (not avanzase not stand, could not stand the chorus, not bear the litany of style, not stand Cela, who looked behind every sentence ... I stopped green led reading it for a typo. Was all separated by commas no points or semicolons, or colons. halfway But mistakenly had a point. And it seemed to me that potty
