exploration of human behavior – from ultimate destructiveness to
extreme tenderness. |

Blood Meridian is widely recognised as the masterpiece of
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy. It is an historical
epic, a compelling reinterpretation of the Western, and one of the
great American novels of the twentieth century. It tells the story of a

notorious outlaws: the Glanton Gang. Violent, direct and
extraordinarily powerful, the novel traces the destiny of ‘the kid’ as
he falls further and further from grace, and into the clutches of the
mysterious and demonic Judge Holden. |
