Simple et efficacePar A. FranckSi vous avez aimé l'adaptation avec P.Newman ou si plus simplement vous appréciez un littérature efficace et sans fioritures, alors vous aimerez cette chasse à l'homme. Un western atypique mais aussi une très belle aventure humaine. Description du produitJohn Russell has been raised as an Apache. Now he's on his way to live as a white man. But when the stagecoach passengers learn who he is, they want nothing to do with him -- until outlaws ride down on them and they must rely on Russell's guns and his ability to lead them out of the desert. He can't ride with them, but they must walk with him or die. Présentation de l'éditeur“Although known for his mysteries, Elmore Leonard has penned some of the best western fiction ever.”—USA Today“A classic….Leonard’s writing style is as effortless and enjoyable as watching a good movie.” —Portland OregonianGrand Master Elmore Leonard is justifiably acknowledged as “the best writer of crime fiction alive” (Newsweek)—and, in fact, one of the very best ever, alongside other all-time greats like John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker. But he has also many acclaimed masterworks of American western fiction to his credit—including Hombre, the basis for the classic Hollywood motion picture starring Paul Newman. Set in Arizona mining country, Hombre is the tale of a white man raised by Indians, who must come to the aid of people who hate him when their stagecoach is attacked by outlaws. As thrilling as his contemporary novels of crime, double-cross, and murder in Detroit and Miami, Hombre is Elmore Leonard at his riveting best—no less than one would expect from the creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Justified).Présentation de l'éditeur“Although known for his mysteries, Elmore Leonard has penned some of the best western fiction ever.”—USA Today“A classic….Leonard’s writing style is as effortless and enjoyable as watching a good movie.” —Portland OregonianGrand Master Elmore Leonard is justifiably acknowledged as “the best writer of crime fiction alive” (Newsweek)—and, in fact, one of the very best ever, alongside other all-time greats like John D.

  • Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013
    ELMORE LEONARD, 1925-2013 Elmore Leonard was born October 11, 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to his father’s position working for General Motors, Leonard’s family moved numerous times during his childhood, before finally settling in Detroit, MI in 1934. Leonard went on to graduate high school in Detroit in 1943, and joined the Navy, serving in the legendary Seabees military construction unit in the Pacific theater of operations before returning home in 1946. Leonard then attended the University of Detroit, majoring in English and Philosophy. Plans to assist his father in running an auto dealership fell through on his father’s early death, and after graduating, Leonard took a job writing for an ad agency. He married (for the first of three times) in 1949. While working his day job in the advertising world, Leonard wrote constantly, submitting mainly western stories to the pulp and/or mens’ magazines, where he was establishing himself with a strong reputation. His stories also occasionally caught the eye of the entertainment industry and were often optioned for films or television adaptation. In 1961, Leonard attempted to concentrate on writing full-time, with only occasional free- lance ad work. With the western market drying up, Leonard broke into the mainstream suspense field with his first non-western novel, The Big Bounce in 1969. From that point on, his publishing success continued to increase – with both critical and fan response to his works helping his novels to appear on bestseller lists. His 1983 novel La Brava won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year.

Leonard's Westerns are the real deal!Von RK HawkinsIt is unbelievable, but true: put your hands on a Leonard western once and you won't be able to get away from them before you've read all there are - once you pop, you can't stop.To my knowledge, there are eight Leonard westerns available at :1. Gunsights2. The Bounty Hunters3. Hombre4. Valdez is Coming5. Last Stand at Saber River6. Escape from Five Shadows7. The Law at Randado8. Forty Lashes Less OneRead them all. That's all I have to say. Read them all and find out just how good they are for yourselves. This is addicting stuff. Cocaine is nothing, compared with a western penned by Elmore Leonard.0 von 0 Kunden fanden die folgende Rezension hilfreich. The script for a great movieVon H. KraussMany of us may have first known it as Martin Ritt's classic Western from 1967 starring Paul Newman. Reading the book you have to try NOT to visualise the scenes in the film. So what can one say, great adaptation!The only major differences are the introductory mustanging scenes in the film and the narrative perspective in the book.

HombreBy CpheI haven't read anything by the author, nor viewed the movie adaption so can't compare the two however it's no secret that I enjoy a good "western".The story unfolds through the eyes of Carl Allen who is a passenger on a stagecoach that is waylaid by robbers. Among the passengers is John Russell a white man who spent his early years living amongst the Indians.This is a novel of prejudice and greed versus survival and moral integrity. Good versus evil. Loved the setting and the style. The delivery suited the environment the barren and arid desert. Enjoyed the characters presented here, particularly the enigmatic and taciturn John Russell who walks between two worlds.This is more of a longer length novella but well written I thought and offers more than just a novel of the western genre.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. suspense goes on and on between spurts of actionBy Ricky BAn unusual western in that there are lots of taut situations where the waiting and stand-offs are filled with a terse suspense.

  • Raylan by Elmore Leonard
    Raylan by Elmore Leonard Few people get a NY Times obit on the front page. Elmore Leonard did, after a long and distinguished career as a writer. He died on August 20. Some sixty years ago, Leonard began writing Westerns, five of which became movies. Hombre, named by the Western Writers of America one of the best 25 Westerns ever written, became a movie starring Paul Newman. Then Leonard turned to writing crime novels. Many became movies, notably Get Shorty, with John Travolta as the unforgettable Chili Palmer, a Florida loan shark who goes to Hollywood to collect a debt and ends up making a movie. Leonards’s last novel, Raylan, features Raylan Givens, a fascinating figure from two previous novels and from the current FX television series Raylan. Givens, a laconic US marshal operating in Harlan County, Kentucky, is fully equal to the body part snatchers, hillfolk drug dealers, grifters who populate the novel. For me, the addicting qualities of Leonard’s work are his dialogue, his characters, and his imaginative, fully realized settings. The settings are the grittier parts of large cities like Detroit and Miami, Florida, Djibouti, Harlan County. Leonard’s characters are mobsters, low lifers, cops, people on the make. The dialogue is colorful, evocative, memorable, spare. In 1995 British writer Martin Ames described Leonard’s traits as a writer as “gifts—of ear and eye, of timing and phrasing—that even the most indolent and snobbish masters of the mainstream must vigorously covet.” Raylan the novel is among his best and is a fitting close to a wonderful writing career.

  • Place Images of the American West in Western Films
    PLACE IMAGES OF THE AMERICAN WEST IN WESTERN FILMS by TRAVIS W. SMITH B.S., Kansas State University, 2003 M.A., Kansas State University, 2005 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Geography College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Abstract Hollywood Westerns have informed popular images of the American West for well over a century. This study of cultural, cinematic, regional, and historical geography examines place imagery in the Western. Echoing Blake’s (1995) examination of the novels of Zane Grey, the research questions analyze one hundred major Westerns to identify (1) the spatial settings (where the plot of the Western transpires), (2) the temporal settings (what date[s] in history the Western takes place), and (3) the filming locations. The results of these three questions illuminate significant place images of the West and the geography of the Western. I selected a filmography of one hundred major Westerns based upon twenty different Western film credentials. My content analysis involved multiple viewings of each Western and cross-referencing film content like narrative titles, American Indian homelands, fort names, and tombstone dates with scholarly and popular publications. The Western spatially favors Apachería, the Borderlands and Mexico, and the High Plains rather than the Pacific Northwest. Also, California serves more as a destination than a spatial setting. Temporally, the heart of the Western beats during the 1870s and 1880s, but it also lives well into the twentieth century. The five major filming location clusters are the Los Angeles / Hollywood area and its studio backlots, Old Tucson Studios and southeastern Arizona, the Alabama Hills in California, Monument Valley in Utah and Arizona, and the Santa Fe region in New Mexico.

  • “Raylan Givens” with an Expansive List of Diverse Film And
    TIMOTHY OLYPHANT “Raylan Givens” With an expansive list of diverse film and television credits, Timothy Olyphant is known for his poignant roles in both dramas and comedies. He most recently wrapped Breck Eisner’s remake of the horror classic The Crazies, which revolves around a small town beset by death and insanity after a plane crash lets loose a secret biological weapon into the water supply. Olyphant stars as the town sheriff. Overture Films recently released this film in February 2010. This past year, Timothy starred opposite Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich in David Twohy’s A Perfect Getaway for Relativity Media, which centers around two couples who, on a Hawaiian vacation, discover that psychopaths are stalking and murdering tourists on the islands. He also stars in Gary Yates’ independent feature High Life, a comedy about four hapless junkies who plan to rob a bank. The film premiered at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival. In 2007, Olyphant starred in 20th Century Fox’s Hitman and Live Free Die Hard. Hitman, based on the popular video game and directed by Xavier Gans, centers around “Agent 47” (Olyphant), who realizes he’s being pursued by both Interpol and the Russian military as he treks across Eastern Europe. In Live Free Die Hard, directed by Len Wiseman, Olyphant played “Thomas Gabriel,” an internet-based terrorist who John McClaine (Bruce Willis) is trying to stop from systematically shutting down the United States. Olyphant co-starred with Elisha Cuthbert and Emile Hirsch in 20th Century Fox’s The Girl Next Door. Olyphant brilliantly portrayed “Kelly,” the porn producer and ex-boyfriend of “Danielle” (Cuthbert), who tries to convince her to come back to the business.
