Soon to be a major motion picture starring Matt Damon, directed by Billy Bob Thorton and produced by Mike Nichols!


A critical triumph, this is the story of John Grady Cole, who at 16 finds himself at the dying end of a long line of Texas ranchers, cut off from the only life he has ever imagined for himself.  To escape a society moving in all the wrong directions, Cole and two companions decide to seek their future in Mexico, a land at once beautiful and desolate, rugged and cruelly civilized.  But what begins as an idyllic, sometimes comic adventure, leads, in fact, to a place where dreams are paid for in blood.  Within months, one of the boys is dead, and the other two aged beyond their years.

A story about childhood passing, innocence and an American age, here is a grand story and an education in responsibility, revenge, and survival.  All the Pretty Horses is truly a masterpiece.
