Pubblicato nel 1910, "Il retaggio del deserto" è il primo romanzo a sfondo western del grande Zane Grey, anche se limitarsi a questo dato sarebbe decisamente riduttivo. In questa struggente cronaca di un amore impossibile si ritrovano, in effetti, tutti gli elementi che hanno reso l’autore americano uno fra i più importanti interpreti dello spirito della Frontiera, fatto di paesaggi infiniti, conflitti violenti e un mondo naturale che dà e toglie, sempre con la stessa, apparente, indifferenza. Una ragazza cresciuta fra i mormoni si innamora di un brav’uomo del New England – remoto sia geograficamente che culturalmente – dovendosi pertanto scontrare con l’autorità religiosa della propria comunità. Ella, infatti, è promessa sposa a un mormone locale, di cui dovrebbe diventare la seconda moglie. Una storia schiettamente americana, che saprà sicuramente conquistarsi un posto nell’immaginazione di chi la leggerà.Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) nasce a Zanesville (Ohio), quarto figlio di un affermato dentista. Appassionato fin dall’infanzia di letteratura, pesca e baseball, inizia a scrivere i primi racconti a soli quindici anni. Grazie a una borsa di studio, ottenuta proprio col baseball, nel 1896 si laurea e si trasferisce a New York, dove per qualche anno esercita la professione dentistica di famiglia. Annoiato dalla routine, però, Zane comincia a scrivere febbrilmente, producendo una notevole quantità di romanzi, tutti ambientati nell’amato West. Sebbene inizialmente rifiutato da vari editori, nel 1910 ottiene finalmente un insperato successo, grazie al best-seller "L’eredità del deserto". È l’inizio di una carriera che lo renderà uno fra i romanzieri più amati dal grande pubblico statunitense (e non solo). Fra i suoi moltissimi titoli – da cui, tra l’altro, sono stati tratti ben 110 film e una serie televisiva – si possono citare "L’anima della frontiera" (1906), "Il ponte dell’arcobaleno" (1915), "Il vagabondo del deserto" (1923) e "Stirpe eroica" (1925).

Pubblicato nel 1928 come seguito del fortunatissimo "Forlorn River", "Nevada" vede nuovamente al centro della scena l’omonimo cowboy – il cui nome è in realtà Jim Lacy – che, dopo essere riuscito a salvarsi dalle peripezie del precedente romanzo, lavora adesso in incognito, fra le sanguinose bande di ladri di bestiame che infestano l’Arizona. Cresciuto in mezzo a violenze di ogni tipo, e con un’abilità notevole sia nel cavalcare che nell’usare corda e revolver, Nevada ha però un cuore puro e un senso profondissimo della giustizia. Se si somma tale sua natura benevola a un amore sincero da cui tornare, si hanno già tutte le coordinate entro cui ambientare un’avventura senza tempo, che concilia i paesaggi immensi del Far West con le tribolazioni più umane.Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) nasce a Zanesville (Ohio), quarto figlio di un affermato dentista.

Pubblicato nel 1915 col titolo "The Lone Star Ranger", il presente romanzo è senz’altro fra i titoli più rappresentativi della sensibilità lirica e dell’amore per il Far West del grande Zane Grey. Buck Duane ha tutte le carte in regola per diventare un fuorilegge qualsiasi: è un tiratore di rarissima abilità e ha una vendetta da consumare. L’omicidio che compie, tuttavia, lo lascia insoddisfatto, costringendolo a lasciare l’amata fattoria per darsi alla macchia. Incapace di vivere un’esistenza all’insegna della criminalità, ben presto Buck si distingue per il disinteressato aiuto che presta ai più deboli e agli oppressi. È proprio per questo, quindi, che gli viene offerto il posto di ranger, così da estirpare una volta per tutte il temibile Cheseldine e la sua cricca di banditi...Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) nasce a Zanesville (Ohio), quarto figlio di un affermato dentista.

In un Texas ancora incontaminato, abitato da popolazioni che vi risiedono da secoli, una carovana composta da ventotto carri sfida i pericoli in cerca di un po’ di terra (e, magari, di fortuna). I coloni, con al seguito le proprie famiglie, dovranno però scontrarsi con la fiera resistenza dei Comanche, Kiowa e Pawnee, i quali, ovviamente, vivono il loro arrivo come una serie minaccia alle proprie consuetudini ancestrali. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1939, "Carovane combattenti" risponde sicuramente a una sensibilità e a uno stile a volte lontano da quelli contemporanei, ma propone al contempo una lettura molto schietta del vecchio Far West, descrivendo senza alcuna remora la violenza – e, a volte, la crudeltà – con cui coloni e nativi si sono scontrati in una guerra continuativa e senza sconti. Una lettura obbligata, quindi, almeno per tutti coloro che desiderino capire qualcosa di più sulla controversa epopea della Frontiera.Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) nasce a Zanesville (Ohio), quarto figlio di un affermato dentista.

Nel 1907, dopo aver assistito a un’interessante conferenza a New York, Zane Grey si avventura in una rischiosa battuta di caccia al puma fra i ripidi declivi del Gran Canyon. Ad accompagnarlo nell’impresa c’è un manipolo di uomini in cerca di emozioni forti, fra cui il celebre Charles "Buffalo" Jones (1844-1919) che, oltre a essere stato il primo guardacaccia del parco di Yellowstone, è anche considerato fra i più grandi preservatori della fauna americana (in particolare del bisonte). In un’autentica celebrazione della natura incontaminata e della vita all’aria aperta, Zane Grey ci regala il ricordo di una spedizione memorabile, ma anche l’istantanea di un’epoca trascorsa in cui, nonostante tutto, prendono forma le prime tracce di un ambientalismo che, qualche decennio dopo, si costituirà come sempre più necessario...Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) nasce a Zanesville (Ohio), quarto figlio di un affermato dentista.

Pubblicato nel 1903, "Betty Zane" è il primo romanzo scritto da Zane Grey, incentrato sulla vera storia di una sua celebre trisavola. Ai tempi della Rivoluzione Americana, la giovane Betty Zane è protagonista indiscussa dell’ultima grande battaglia prima della vittoria americana. L’esercito britannico, affiancato da quattrocento indiani Shawnee, detiene ancora il controllo di Detroit, preparandosi ad accerchiare il fortino in legno di Ford Henry. La ferma volontà di raggiungere la tanto agognata indipendenza, però, permetterà ai coloni di avere la meglio sull’odiata madrepatria, grazie, se non altro, al carisma naturale di un’eroina senza tempo, che fa dell’abnegazione e del coraggio le sue principali armi.Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) nasce a Zanesville (Ohio), quarto figlio di un affermato dentista.

Born in Zanesville, Ohio (a town founded by his grandfather), Grey’s first career was as a dentist. But he gave it up to pursue writing, going on to produce nearly 100 books. These wildly popular adventures defined many of the Western’s most enduring tropes and characters, from noble lawmen to mysterious gunslingers, and made Grey a household name.His stories include "Riders of the Purple Sage", "The Rainbow Trail" and "The Lone Star Ranger". Hollywood produced dozens of Zane Grey adaptations, mostly during the 1930s and 40s, starring Western icons like Gary Cooper and Randolph Scott.

For his first novel, Zane Grey looked back at the extraordinary life of his ancestor Betty Zane-a heroine of the American Revolutionary War. Betty Zane lived her life on the frontier. Her family founded the settlement of Wheeler in West Virginia, which came under attack from British and Native American forces in 1782. With gunpowder running low, all hope looked lost. What happened next would secure Betty's place in the history books. An easy and pacy read, "e;Betty Zane"e; is a great portrait of the early pioneer days. And Betty makes for a spirited main character. If the "e;Outlander"e; books have peaked your interest in the American Revolution, give this novel a shot. -
