Wisters literary style is characterized by a blend of vivid descriptions and engaging narratives, immersing readers in the rugged landscapes and intricate lives of his characters. The collection is not only a testament to the Western genre but also reflects the socio-political context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the American frontier was both a literal and metaphorical backdrop for self-discovery and adventure. Owen Wister, a prominent figure in American literature, is best known for his novel The Virginian, which significantly shaped the Western literary canon. Born into a well-to-do family, Wisters experiences in Wyoming during the 1890s imbued him with a deep appreciation for the frontier life, influencing his works with authentic portrayals of cowboys, ranchers, and outlaws. His education at Harvard and exposure to diverse ideologies shaped his narrative voice, allowing him to reflect both the roughness of the West and the refinement of Eastern literary traditions. This collection is an essential read for scholars, enthusiasts of the Western genre, and anyone curious about the complexities of American culture. With Wisters deft storytelling and keen insights, readers will embark on a compelling journey through the landscapes of the American psyche, making it a valuable addition to the library of both casual readers and serious students of literature.</p>...1741023The Owen Wister Collection4646https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-owen-wister-collection/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/393770/36601527-b6c9-4ad1-bc7c-0e68ff628888.jpg?v=638694536487370000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169788028225469_W3siaWQiOiJjNDk3MzU2OS1jMzZhLTRkYzAtYTk2NC02OWU2NjJhYjBhNGEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ2LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9788028225469_<p>This edition includes: Lin McLean The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains Red Man and White Red Man and White Little Big Horn Medicine Specimen Jones The Serenade At Siskiyuo The Generals Bluff Salvation Gap The Second Missouri Compromise La Tinaja Bonita A Pilgrim on the Gila The Jimmyjohn Boss A Kinsman of Red Cloud Sharons Choice Napoleon Shave-Tail Twenty Minutes for Refreshments The Promised Land Hanks Woman Padre Ignacio: or, the Song of Temptation Owen Wister (1860-1938) was an American writer and father of western fiction. When he started writing, he naturally inclined towards fiction set on the western frontier. Wisters most famous work remains the novel The Virginian, set in the Wild West. It describes the life of a cowboy who is a natural aristocrat, set against a highly mythologized version of the Johnson County War and taking the side of the large land owners. The Virginian paved the way for many more westerns by such authors as Zane Grey, Louis LAmour, and several others. It is also widely regarded as being the first cowboy novel.</p>...9788028225469_Sharp Inklibro_electonico_99c042f2-3c2f-38bf-8df4-b5ae2275d7db_9788028225469;9788028225469_9788028225469Owen WisterInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/ciando-epub-c6b4bed3-a91a-4763-aae0-7d14d570e9cc.epub2016-07-08T00:00:00+00:00Sharp Ink
