Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Rústica / Mate / UVI Tamaño:14. 5 x 22. 5 cm Nos encontramos en Nuevo Mexico, en los años 50 Jack Burns rechaza la civilización moderna y vive solo alejado de las multitudes. Rebelde, fuera de su tiempo, indocumentado, hace vida de vaquero, ya al raso ya a lomos de una tozuda yegua por el nuevo Oeste, una hermosa tierra asfixiada por grandes ciudades, inmobiliarias, pistas de aterrizaje, autopistas y barrios marginales. Pero no siempre fue así, desde hace tiempo Burns decidió vivir a su manera, con sus propias reglas, tan arcaicas como subversivas para este nuevo orden regido por la polución y la burocracia. En el presente galopa hacia la ciudad para sacar de un apuro a su viejo amigo Paul Bondi, un profesor de filosofía y escritor, antiguo compañero de correrías, que se encuentra en la cárcel por desobediencia civil e insumisión. Sabe que puede pasarse de la raya, pero también que él es un tipo escurridizo para los supuestos guardianes de la ley y el orden. Esta obra se publicó bajo el título original de The Brave Cowboy, en 1956, y con esta edición por primera vez en español, es la segunda novela de Edward Abbey, el autor de La Banda de la Tenaza. Subtitulada "Un vieja historia para un tiempo nuevo", esta narración, llena de acción y reflexión, funciona como una alegoría de nuestros tiempos, mediante un héreo atípico, un quijotesco "cowboy anarquista" cuya apuesta por la vitalidad y la autosuficiencia pone en evidencia muchas de las convenciones y contradicciones de la sociedad moderna. En 1962 esta novela también fue llevada al cine con el largometraje Lonely are the brave, producido y protagonizado por Kirk Douglas, que lo considera su mejor trabajo, y con guión de Dalton Trumbo. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

First Edition Thus. 277pp. Octavo [20 cm] Yellow printed wrappers. Very good. Gentle sunning to backstrip. Introduction by Neal E. Lambert. Although largely ignored by the critics when it was first published in 1956, The Brave Cowboy has since attained the status of a minor classic of Western literature. Set in a thinly disguised Albuquerque, New Mexico, this anarchist fable is perhaps best known as the source of the superb "adult western" movie Lonely Are the Brave.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. A presentation copy of the reissue of Abbey's second book, one of the great novels of the contemporary West, and long out of print in hardcover. This edition has an introduction by Kirk Douglas, who starred in the film version, Lonely Are the Brave. Illustrated with stills from the movie and with a frontispiece illustration of Douglas. Of a total edition of 526 copies, this is a presentation copy, as noted on the colophon, and is signed by Kirk Douglas and with a lengthy and humorous inscription by the publisher. In the course of making a film from the novel, Abbey and Douglas corresponded, and they later met as friends: Douglas said the book "latched onto my soul" when he first read it; and Abbey, in a preface to the 1971 edition, thanked "the little band of loyal fans, including the actor Kirk Douglas, who have somehow kept [the book] alive through all these years." Fine in a fine dust jacket.
