Klappentext Inspired by a near-mythic event of the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the twentieth century, SHADOW COUNTRY reimagines the legend of the inspired Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. J. Watson, who drives himself to his own violent end at the hands of his neighbours. His son Lucius investigates the killing which has come to obsess him. In this bold new rendering of the Watson trilogy Matthiessen has deepened the insights and motivations of his characters, consolidating his fictional masterwork into a poetic, compelling novel of a monumental scope and ambition, with breathtaking accomplishment. Zusammenfassung A powerful! epic tale of America's rise and descent! from the Civil War to the Great Depression.
