True Grit
Book (italiano):
<DIV>Charles Portis has long been acclaimed as one of America’s foremost writers. <i>True Grit</i> is the basis for two movies, the 1969 classic starring John Wayne and the Academy Award® winning 2010 version starring Jeff Bridges and written and directed by the Coen brothers.<BR><br> <i>True Grit</i> tells the story of Mattie Ross, who is just fourteen years of age when a coward going by the name of Tom Chaney shoots her father down in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and robs him of his life, his horse, and $150 in cash. Mattie leaves home to avenge her father’s blood. With the one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest available U.S. Marshal, by her side, Mattie pursues the homicide into Indian Territory. <i>True Grit</i> is eccentric, cool, straight, and unflinching, like Mattie herself. From a writer of true status, this is an American classic through and through.<BR><br> This mass-market edition includes an afterword by award-winning Donna Tartt, author of <i>The Little Friend</i> and <i>The Secret History</i>.</div>
