Cities of the Plain (Border Trilogy)

Product Information

The idea has been troubling the minds of mystics of every progressive culture for at least five millennia, if the record is to be believed.

This story of the man’s dream leads conversation on determinism, free will, humanity, the divine, nihilism, and knowledge.Non abbiamo il controllo delle nostre scelte, ma possiamo raccontare la storia che ci ha condotto a esse. A film adaptation, directed by Andrew Dominik and starring James Franco, was stated to be in development, but as of 2018 these plans appeared to have fallen through. Let us say that the events which took place were a dream of this man whose own reality remains conjectural. After that, he talks to Eduardo and leaves, knowing that John Grady is in trouble with the law—the police think he has killed Magdalena instead of Eduardo.

The book is filled with moving depictions of the routines of cowboy life, adventures high in the hills above the cities spreading out across the plain. Minor wear; lightly toned text block edges; dustwrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Imparare a raccontare la propria storia è salvarsi dalla dimenticanza, dalla finitudine della morte e guadagnare uno statuto di immortalità.Hauntingly beautiful, filled with sorrow, humor and awe, Cities of the Plain is a genuine American epic. He captures a fleeting moment in time in the American West right before the slowly creeping forces of the industrial revolution finally found their way into this vast but remote landscape. To the south, always on the horizon are the mountains of Mexico, looming over El Paso, Ciudad Juárez and all the cities of the plain.
