Кормак Маккарти — современный американский классик главного калибра, лауреат Макартуровской стипендии «За гениальность», мастер сложных переживаний и нестандартного синтаксиса, хорошо известный нашему читателю романами «Старикам тут не место» (фильм братьев Коэн по этой книге получил четыре «Оскара»), «Дорога» (получил Пулитцеровскую премию и также был экранизирован) и «Кони, кони...» (получил Национальную книжную премию США и был перенесен на экран Билли Бобом Торнтоном, главные роли исполнили Мэтт Дэймон и Пенелопа Крус). Но впервые Маккарти прославился именно романом «Кровавый меридиан, или Закатный багрянец на западе», именно после этой книги о нем заговорили не только литературные критики, но и широкая публика. Маститый англичанин Джон Бэнвилл, лауреат Букера, назвал этот роман «своего рода смесью дантова ”Ада“, ”Илиады“ и ”Моби-Дика“». Главный герой «Кровавого меридиана», четырнадцатилетний подросток из Теннеси, известный лишь как «малец», становится героем новейшего эпоса, основанного на реальных событиях и обстоятельствах техасско-мексиканского пограничья середины XIX века, где бурно развивается рынок индейских скальпов… Впервые на русском.
