First UK printings of McCarthy's great epic of friendship, loss, and the American frontier.

McCarthy's Border Trilogy is one of the great achievements of late twentieth-century American fiction. Lyrical and brutal, filled with both sorrow and humour, it tells the story of two friends growing up in a world where violence is a condition of life. Epic in scale, the three novels (published in the UK between 1993 and 1998) cross generic as well as geographical borders. At once coming-of-age story, courtly romance, and tragedy, these are works deeply rooted in the American West and timeless, all written in a prose that ‘takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power’. (Stephen King).
