About this listen

 Året er 1873, og Will Andrews opgiver sine universitetsstudier ved Harvard og drager vestpå. Han ender i Butcher's Crossing, en lille, gudsforladt flaekke i Kansas. Butcher's Crossing er fuld af rastløse maend, der kun taenker på at tjene hurtige penge og bruge dem lige så hurtigt, blandt dem Miller. Han og Andrews bliver venner, og Andrews fascineres af Millers historie om en enorm bisonflok, der kun venter på at blive nedslagtet, godt gemt af vejen i en smuk dal i Rocky Mountains i Colorado. Andrews lader sig overtale til at deltage i - og financiere - en ekspedition, der bringer ham og Miller og to andre maend langt ind i bjergene, hvor de skal slagte bisonerne, flå dem og bringe skindet tilbage.
Rejsen er anstrengende og ekstremt kraevende for de fire maend og deres heste, men da de endelig når frem, er det et sted af paradisisk skønhed og rigdom, der møder dem. De kaster sig ud i en orgastisk nedslagtning af de tusindvis af bisoner, og bliver så opslugt af mødet med dyrene, at de mister al fornemmelse af tid. Netop som de er klar til at rejse tilbage til Butcher's Crossing med store maengder bisonskind, stopper naturen dem. Vinteren har sneget sig ind på dem, og de sner inde i bjergene, i månedsvis. Foråret kommer, og de genoptager hjemrejsen, nedbrudte af kulde og sult.

I "Butcher's Crossing" finder de en verden, der er dramatisk forandret, fuldstaendig lige som dem selv.©2015 SAGA Egmont. Translated by Mich Vraa (P)2015 SAGA Egmont Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction

Critic reviews


Det vilde vesten skildres prunkløst og uromantisk i.
