Típica novela del oeste que fue, viendo cómo siguieron los acontecimientos, precursora de mi pasión lectora de los dos siguientes años, en los que leí unas 400 novelitas del oeste con auténtica fruición, viernes tras viernes. Un vaquero persigue durante días a un potro alazán de espléndida factura y en la lucha final entre ambos quedan los dos afectados, siendo casualmente descubiertos por la hija de un rico ranchero, hija que a continuación se enamorará del vaquero y montará al caballo ganando una importante carrera local. A partir de ahí empiezan a pasar más cosas, pero siempre dentro del entorno controlado de las novelas del oeste. Entretenida. ( ) The one "reveiw extant makes Grey's work here sound like it is trashy and plain. Far from it! The country, charactgers, plot, and wildness exemplify the heighth of Grey's descritive powers. The male lead is a tall, gaunt, quiet, Texan, the role model for the Gary Cooper types that were cast in westerns the first half of the 20th century/ And the wildfire alluded to is the horse, of course, of course, but also could be the nickname of the red=headed, headstrong daughter of the ranchers, the two of which find each other. I'm surpirsed Hollywood hasn't made more of ZG's novels into movies as he follows the action and love themes of that town and always leaves us with a happy ending. no reviews | add a review

HTML: From the imagination of renowned Western writer Zane Grey comes Wildfire, the gripping tale of a man, a woman, and a remarkable horse. The three are thrown together through a series of circumstances that give rise to a once-in-a-lifetime bond. One of Grey's most emotionally compelling works, this novel combines pulse-pounding action and nuanced insight into the ties that bind us together. .No library descriptions found. |
