All the Pretty Horses

All the Pretty Horses is a masterpiece of American literature, praised by authors such as Stephen King and the Financial Times. Set in the 1940s, the novel follows the story of sixteen-year-old John Grady Cole, the last bewildered survivor of long generations of Texas ranchers. Finding himself cut off from the only life he has ever wanted, he sets out for Mexico with his friend Lacey Rawlins, befriending a third boy on the way. They find a country beyond their imagining: barren and beautiful, rugged yet cruelly civilized, a place where dreams are paid for in blood. The novel is a grand love story, exploring the passing of childhood, innocence, and a vanished American age. It has been adapted into a film starring Matt Damon and Penélope Cruz and is part of the Border Trilogy, followed by The Crossing and Cities of the Plain. The Picador Collection showcases the best of modern literature.
