Lonesome Dove

Immerse yourself in the gritty realism of the American Frontier in Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurty – a powerful, triumphant tribute to the American West and a masterful epic from the screenwriter of Brokeback Mountain.

This is the story of a group of audacious cowboys on a perilous cattle drive across the sprawling wilderness, from Texas to Montana. Bound by duty and hardened by the relentless frontier, their shared journey embodies the enduring spirit of the West.

An iconic creation by the accomplished author of The Last Picture Show and Texasville, Lonesome Dove transcends boundaries – more than an adventure, beyond any love story. The saga paints the American West with a palette of nuanced characters, from heroes to outlaws, in a narrative that is as unflinching as it is captivating.

This novel, the first published, chronologically third in McMurtry’s esteemed Lonesome Dove quartet, depicts an enduring American experience. A must-read for fans of evocative Western Americana, McMurtry propels you into the heart of 19th-century America, its triumphs and betrayals bound together in a dance of heightened drama and human spirit.
