La novela que inspiró el filme homónimo de los hermanos Coen, protagonizado por Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin y Tommy Lee Jones.

Una magnética historia de perdedores, narcotraficantes y sueños rotos, obra del genial autor de la Trilogía de la frontera.

El cazador y veterano de Vietnam Llewelyn Moss descubre por casualidad la sangrienta escena de una carnicería entre narcos en algún lugar de la frontera entre Texas y México. Entre los cuerpos y los paquetes de heroína, descubre también algo más de dos millones de dólares.

A partir de este momento comienza la violenta carrera de Moss por escapar de los que quieren darle caza: Wells, ex agente de las Fuerzas Especiales contratado por un poderoso cartel; Anton Chigurh, una implacable máquina de matar, para quien recuperar el dinero de sus jefes es apenas la excusa para descargar una y otra vez su arma y poner en práctica su máxima: no dejar nunca testigos, y un sheriff veterano de la segunda Guerra Mundial que añora los viejos buenos tiempos y esconde un doloroso secreto que lo mantiene vivo.

El resultado es una novela que es «mucho más que un thriller corriente (Time Magazine) que «te dejará jadeando y atemorizado (Sam Shepard).

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road comes a "profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered" novel (The Washington Post) that returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of the famed Border Trilogy.

The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law--in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell--can contain.

As Moss tries to evade his pursuers--in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives--McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines.

No Country for Old Men is a triumph.
