The Western includes 4 novels well know to older readers who remember reading these novels. Each represent the old western stories the writers had heard from older participants whether they were true or not. The truth didn't really matter, it was the storytelling that made it interesting to read. 3 of the stories were later made into films such as John Wayne's "The Searchers." Those who love entertaining tales of the old west will enjoy these.

The author also wrote "The Searchers". I thought that this book was the basis for the Clint Eastwood movie with a similar title....but, no. More about the late 19th century north Texans and the Comanches. A good Western. I shouldn't say anything, but I felt a peculiar sexual quality to this story. You did too, right?

La trama de esta novela es sobradamente conocida: dos colonos blancos se imponen la incierta tarea de rescatar a un par de niñas raptadas por una partida comanche en una de las muchas incursiones que sus guerreros hacían en el territorio de Texas, ya incorporado a los Estados Unidos. Para Amos y Martin, protagonistas de Centauros del Desierto, la búsqueda se convierte en un fin en sí mismo, en algo que monopoliza sus vidas. Persiguen a los comanches casi más allá de toda esperanza lógica, porque, en opinión de Amos, un indio cuando huye "después de un tiempo piensa que debe desistir y comienza a aflojar. Por lo visto, no concibe que exista una criatura que persista en una persecución hasta el final".… (mer)
