Days Without End
Autor Sebastian Barryen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2016
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2017 MAN BOOKER PRIZEA true leftfield wonder: Days Without End is a violent, superbly lyrical western offering a sweeping vision of America in the making.--Kazuo Ishiguro, Booker Prize-winning author From the two-time Booker Prize finalist Sebastian Barry, "a master storyteller" (Wall Street Journal) and author of the companion novel A Thousand Moons, a powerful chronicle of duty and family set against the American Indian and Civil Wars Thomas McNulty, aged barely seventeen and having fled the Great Famine in Ireland, signs up for the U.S. Army in the 1850s. With his brother in arms, John Cole, Thomas goes on to fight in the Indian Wars--against the Sioux and the Yurok--and, ultimately, the Civil War. Orphans of terrible hardships themselves, the men find these days to be vivid and alive, despite the horrors they see and are complicit in. Moving from the plains of Wyoming to Tennessee, Sebastian Barry's latest work is a masterpiece of atmosphere and language. An intensely poignant story of two men and the makeshift family they create with a young Sioux girl, Winona, Days Without End is a fresh and haunting portrait of the most fateful years in American history and is a novel never to be forgotten.
