Roman western written by Charles Portis American author, True Grit is one of his best known works.
even when I had not yet tasted this kind of literature, and to be honest, I'm not very western in general.
Oddly, this one I really tried (due to adaptation by the Cohen Brothers), and when I saw it was offered in partnership by BOB I jumped at the chance.
Mattie Ross, the heroine is a girl of fourteen, the particularly obstinate, and provided with great maturity for his age. On the death of his father, killed by their employee Tom Chaney, while buy horses were gone, she goes into town to attend the funeral.
Powered by a need for revenge outside the norm, she decides to hire Rooster Cogburn, a one-eyed sheriff, to pursue the murderer. Tom Chaney being pursued in other states, an appointed Laboeuf joins the troupe. There followed a lot of machinations and reflections from Matie, which is not really welcome in this lawsuit army. Yet she manages to win and share the adventure with the two men.
In reaching my opinion, I really enjoyed this book. It changes absolutely what I usually read, but style cleaner with the author's view of Matie who are focused right now, really worked particularly well with me. There's something shiny in the apparent simplicity of style. The characters are all colorful, even the supporting roles, and this gives a gallery of very different characters. I particularly liked the one Rooster, alcoholic verve fruitful, and his digressions on his adventures are very well shot.
actions are linked, as in a western, but still well placed, well-justified, despite a certain sense of urgency to the prosecution and thus the story is feels that the author has taken the time to lay the groundwork for its history.
short, it reads that I recommend highly. Matie's adventures and his vision of the world will not leave you indifferent. So thank
editions of the feathered serpent and Blog o book for this very nice discovery.
And the trailer for the film, which my faith, I look pretty nice: p
