Il crinale

release date: Mar 07, 2023
Il crinale
Nel 1866, gli Stati Uniti si sono appena ripresi dalle ferite della Guerra civile. Non c''è tempo però per la pace: una nuova guerra è scoppiata alla frontiera occidentale. È lo scontro tra una nazione giovane e ambiziosa, intenta a realizzare quello che percepisce come il suo «destino manifesto» e le tribú native che in quelle terre vivono da millenni. Ma è anche il momento drammatico in cui si svela la sostanza di cui sono fatti gli uomini: di viltà o coraggio, di spietatezza o speranza. «Come in Revenant, qui Punke riprende un''altra grande leggenda e ne ripropone la versione corretta: una serie di personaggi indimenticabili per il racconto della battaglia di Fetterman, una delle vittorie piú importanti dei nativi sull''esercito americano. Un romanzo travolgente». Philipp Meyer, autore di Ruggine americana e Il figlio Il colonnello Henry Carrington arriva nella valle del Powder, lungo la pista del Montana, per guidare l''esercito: devono proteggere una nuova strada per i cercatori d''oro e i coloni. Per farlo, Carrington decide di costruire un forte, Fort Phil Kearny, in pieno territorio lakota. Ma Nuvola Rossa, uno dei capi lakota piú rispettati, e il giovane ma carismatico guerriero Cavallo Pazzo comprendono immediatamente le implicazioni di questa invasione. Per i Lakota la posta in gioco è la sopravvivenza. Mentre l''autunno sanguina verso l''inverno, Cavallo Pazzo guida un piccolo gruppo di guerrieri che affronta i soldati del colonnello Carrington con attacchi quasi costanti. Nuvola Rossa, nel frattempo, cerca di stringere le alleanze tribali che sa saranno necessarie per sconfiggere i soldati. Il colonnello Carrington, intento a costruire il suo forte, cerca di tenere insieme un esercito americano lacerato e in subbuglio. Il violento e razzista tenente George Washington Grummond vuole affrontare a viso aperto un nemico che considera inferiore. E le truppe sono divise dagli strascichi della Guerra civile e dalla tentazione di disertare per cercare l''oro nei vicini giacimenti. Le scaramucce proseguono finché un episodio farà precipitare la situazione in uno degli scontri piú drammatici, epici e avvincenti della storia del West. Michael Punke, dopo Revenant, scrive un''altra storia di violenza e sopravvivenza in territori estremi: ma questa volta sono uomini che si scontrano e si misurano con la brutalità della Storia. Basato su un episodio storico fedelmente ricostruito, Il crinale è una riflessione attualissima sull''eterna lotta tra conquista e giustizia, guerra e umanità.

Ridgeline

Ridgeline
The thrilling, long-awaited return of the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Revenant Winner of the 2022 Spur Award for Best Western Historical Novel Winner of the 2021 David. J. Langum, Sr. Prize in American Historical Fiction 2021 Montana Book Award Honoree In 1866, with the country barely recovered from the Civil War, new war breaks out on the western frontier—a clash of cultures between the Native tribes who have lived on the land for centuries and a young, ambitious nation. Colonel Henry Carrington arrives in Wyoming’s Powder River Valley to lead the US Army in defending the opening of a new road for gold miners and settlers. Carrington intends to build a fort in the middle of critical hunting grounds, the home of the Lakota. Red Cloud, one of the Lakota’s most respected chiefs, and Crazy Horse, a young but visionary warrior, understand full well the implications of this invasion. For the Lakota, the stakes are their home, their culture, their lives. As fall bleeds into winter, Crazy Horse leads a small war party that confronts Colonel Carrington’s soldiers with near constant attacks. Red Cloud, meanwhile, wants to build the tribal alliances that he knows will be necessary to defeat the soldiers. Colonel Carrington seeks to hold together a US Army beset with internal discord. Carrington’s officers are skeptical of their commander’s strategy, none more so than Lieutenant George Washington Grummond, who longs to fight a foe he dismisses as inferior in all ways. The rank-and-file soldiers, meanwhile, are still divided by the residue of civil war, and tempted to desertion by the nearby goldfields. Throughout this taut saga—based on real people and events—Michael Punke brings the same immersive, vivid storytelling and historical insight that made his breakthrough debut so memorable. As Ridgeline builds to its epic conclusion, it grapples with essential questions of conquest and justice that still echo today.

Die letzten Bisons
Er ist mit der Prärie und Kultur der Indianer verbunden wie kaum ein anderes Tier: der Bison. Doch im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert ist von den einst 30 Millionen Exemplaren nur noch ein Dutzend übrig. Denn das Land im Westen gilt als Wunderkammer, reich an Bodenschätzen und kostbaren Tieren, die von weißen Abenteurern und Jägern auf der Suche nach ihrem Stück vom Glück rücksichtslos ausgebeutet wird. Als schließlich der Naturwissenschaftler und Journalist George Bird Grinnell auf einer Zugreise mit einer Büffelherde kollidiert, steht für ihn fest, dass er die Ausrottung der stolzen Riesen verhindern muss ... Ein leidenschaftlicher Kampf beginnt, der auch erstmals ins öffentliche Bewusstsein rückt, wie schutzbedürftig Amerikas einzigartige Landschaft ist. Eine packende Geschichte, die aktueller ist denn je und mitten hineinführt in den Wilden Westen.

O regresso
Em 1823, os caçadores da Companhia de Peles Montanhas Rochosas desbravavam as terras inexploradas dos Estados Unidos, enfrentando diariamente o clima implacável, as feras selvagens e a ameaça constante de confronto com os índios, que defendiam suas terras da invasão dos homens brancos. Em uma das missões da companhia, Hugh Glass, um dos melhores e mais experientes caçadores do grupo, fica frente a frente com um urso-cinzento, é atacado e termina gravemente ferido, claramente sem chances de sobreviver. Os homens que deveriam esperar sua morte e lhe oferecer um funeral apropriado o abandonam, levando consigo as armas e os suprimentos. Entre delírios, Glass os observa fugindo e é tomado por um único desejo: vingança. Uma determinação cega que o torna capaz de atravessar quase cinco mil quilômetros de terras intocadas e selvagens, fugindo de predadores, sobrevivendo à fome e à agonia dos ferimentos mais terríveis, a fim de concluir seu objetivo. Inspirado em fatos reais e escrito em uma prosa arrebatadora, O regresso é uma notável história de obsessão, um romance sobre um homem cuja vida foi ao mesmo tempo salva e condenada pela sede de vingança. “Uma obra soberba sobre vingança.” The Washington Post

Michael Punke De spookverschijning Het boek dat de inspiratiebron is van de film The Revenant Lees het boek dat de inspiratiebron is van de internationale bioscoopfilm The Revenant Het is 1823. Langs de rivier de Missouri trekt de 36-jarige avonturier Hugh Glass met een groep pelsjagers een onbekend en zeer gevaarlijk gebied in. Glass ondervindt dit gevaar aan den lijve wanneer hij op brute wijze wordt aangevallen door een grizzlybeer. Dagenlang balanceert hij op het randje van de dood. Zijn medereizigers houden het voor gezien: ze stelen zijn wapens en laten Glass alleen in de wildernis achter. De woede om deze laffe daad geeft de stervende man nieuwe kracht en hij zweert wraak. In de maanden die volgen onderneemt Glass - alleen en ongewapend - een onvoorstelbare tocht van bijna 5000 kilometer door de onherbergzame Amerikaanse wildernis, voortgedreven door de drang naar vergelding. De spookverschijning is een avonturenthriller over verraad en wraak, gebaseerd op een waargebeurde geschiedenis. Michael Punke is de Amerikaanse ambassadeur en permanent vertegenwoordiger bij de Wereldhandelsorganisatie in Genève. Hij groeide op in Wyoming, vlak bij de route die Hugh Glass aflegde.

La patience est mère de toutes les vertus... 1823, Missouri. Tandis qu''une première expédition a été attaquée et annihilée par une tribu indienne, la Rocky Mountain Fur Company force sa chance et engage une poignée d''hommes dans une nouvelle tentative pour rallier Fort Union par un trajet inédit et périlleux. Parmi l''équipée, le trappeur Hugh Grass est attaqué par un grizzli quelques jours après le départ. Défiguré, la gorge et l''abdomen dévastés par les coups de pattes de l''animal, il est laissé en arrière avec deux hommes, chargés de le veiller jusqu''à sa mort. Mais Grass s''accroche à la vie. Et chaque heure qui passe rend le trajet pour rallier Fort Union plus dangereux à Fitzgerald et au jeune Jim Bridger, tous deux portés volontaires pour rester avec Grass. Convaincu par le premier d''abandonner leur compagnon agonisant à son funeste sort, Bridger disparait à son tour dans les bois. C''est la dernière image que le trappeur gardera de ses anciens partenaires. Quelques heures plus tard, contre toute attente, il reprend connaissance. Il est seul, en territoire indien, sans arme, sans nourriture. Incapable de se déplacer, souffrant le martyr en raison de ses blessures infectées, délirant, déshydraté, il s''accroche à la vie comme un damné. Son unique motivation : la vengeance. Peu à peu, mû par la colère et aguerri par l''expérience d''une vie hors norme, il reprend des forces. Commence alors le récit hors du commun d''un homme prêt à tous les sacrifices pour retrouver ceux qui l''ont abandonné dans l''Ouest, plus sauvage que jamais.
