4432355THE VIRGINIAN (Western Classic)https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-virginian--western-classic--8596547688303/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4199483/image.jpg?v=6384464921259700004545MXNGood PressInStock/Ebooks/<p>In "The Virginian," Owen Wister crafts a seminal Western novel that explores themes of individuality, honor, and the rugged charm of the American frontier. Set in the picturesque landscape of Wyoming, the narrative follows the life of a nameless cowboy, known only as the Virginian, as he navigates the challenges of ranch life, love, and conflict with rustlers. Wisters distinctive prose elegantly balances lyrical descriptions of the untamed West with sharp dialogue that captures the unique character of the American cowboy. Contextually, the book emerged during a period when the Western genre was gaining prominence, reflecting societys fascination with the mythos of the frontier and the archetype of the noble cowboy. Owen Wister, often hailed as a pioneer of the American West literary canon, drew from his own experiences traveling across the West and his deep appreciation for the rugged landscape. His background as a member of Philadelphias elite and his education at Harvard provided him with a unique perspective on societal norms, predisposing him to critique and celebrate the ethos of cowboy life. This duality is reflected in "The Virginian," revealing Wisters intricate understanding of both civility and frontier justice. For readers seeking a profound exploration of masculinity, community, and the spirit of the West, "The Virginian" is essential. Wisters vivid storytelling not only entertains but invites readers to contemplate the moral complexities of life on the frontier. This classic work remains a compelling read, resonating with both historical relevance and timeless human emotions.</p>...4328119THE VIRGINIAN (Western Classic)4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-virginian--western-classic--8596547688303/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4199483/image.jpg?v=638446492125970000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20238596547688303_W3siaWQiOiIyOTFlMjI3Yi0wMTJmLTRmN2MtOGFiNC0wNWY5NzM2ZGQzYmUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMTVUMDQ6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547688303_<p>This classic 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.
