Dans les années 1870, persuadé que seule la nature peut donner un sens à sa vie, le jeune Will décide de quitter le confort de Harvard pour tenter la grande aventure dans l’Ouest sauvage. Parvenu à Butcher’s Crossing, une bourgade du Kansas, il se lie d’amitié avec un chasseur qui lui confie son secret : il est le seul à savoir où se trouve l’un des derniers troupeaux de bisons, caché dans une vallée inexplorée des montagnes du Colorado. Will accepte de participer à l’expédition, convaincu de toucher au but de sa quête. Le lent voyage, semé d’embûches, est éprouvant mais la vallée ressemble effectivement à un paradis. Jusqu’à ce que les deux hommes se retrouvent piégés par l’hiver… « Butcher’s Crossing démonte le mythe du Grand Ouest américain avec une histoire de survie qui tourne à l’horreur. Un lyrisme superbe et tout en retenue. La prose simple et élégante de Williams est enfin reconnue à sa juste valeur. » Bret Easton Ellis.
John Williams Livres
John Williams était un ecclésiastique et antiquaire gallois, profondément absorbé par l'étude de l'histoire ecclésiastique et de l'ancienne littérature galloise. Ses recherches académiques impliquaient souvent un examen critique des documents historiques, motivé par un fervent nationalisme gallois. Bien que certaines de ses interprétations aient été critiquées pour leur manque potentiel de rigueur critique, son enthousiasme l'a poussé à préserver et à interpréter d'anciens textes gallois. Son œuvre a sans aucun doute laissé une marque significative dans l'érudition galloise, même si elle a suscité des débats.

WINNER OF THE 1973 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD By the Author of Stoner In Augustus, his third great novel, John Williams took on an entirely new challenge, a historical narrative set in classical Rome, exploring the life of the founder of the Roman Empire. To tell the story, Williams turned to the epistolary novel, a genre that was new to him, transforming and transcending it just as he did the western in Butcher’s Crossing and the campus novel in Stoner. Augustus is the final triumph of a writer who has come to be recognized around the world as an American master.
