John Grady Cole is the last bewildered survivor of long generations of Texas ranchers. As his grandfather dies, and his parents succumb to their own worries, John is cut off from the only life he has ever wanted. Running off to Mexico with his pal Lacey Rawlins, and befriending a third boy, they encounter a country beyond their imaginings; rugged, yet cruelly civilised. But a place where dreams are paid for in blood.
In their search for a place that no longer exists, the boys' story is a classic adventure from the lost heart of the wild American West: an adventure that within months will leave one of them dead - the other two aged beyond any normal reckoning.
Now a stunning feature film starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz and directed by Billy Bob Thornton, this momentous American novel is translated with all its brutal poetry onto the big screen.
