Savage violence and cruel morality reign in the backwater deserts of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, a tale of one man's dark opportunity – and the darker consequences that spiral forth. Adapted for the screen by the Coen Brothers (Fargo, True Grit), winner of four Academy Awards (including Best Picture). 'A fast, powerful read, steeped with a deep sorrow about the moral degradation of the legendary American West' – Financial Times 1980. Llewelyn Moss, a Vietnam veteran, is hunting antelope near the Rio Grande when he stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice – leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything. And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? 'It's hard to think of a contemporary writer more worth reading' – Independent Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature. Praise for Cormac McCarthy: ‘McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ – Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren 'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series '[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain

In 2005, Cormac McCarthy's novel, No Country for Old Men, was published to wide acclaim, and in 2007, Ethan and Joel Coen brought their adaptation of McCarthy's novel to the screen. The film earned praise from critics worldwide and was honored with four Academy Awards', including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. In No Country for Old Men: From Novel to Film, scholars offer varied approaches to both the novel and the award-winning film. Beginning with several essays dedicated entirely to the novel and its place within the McCarthy canon, the anthology offers subsequent essays focusing on the film, the adaptation process, and the Coen Brothers more broadly. The book also features an interview with the Coen brothers' long-time cinematographer Roger Deakins. This entertaining and enriching book for readers interested in the Coen Brothers' films and in McCarthy's fiction is an important contribution to both literature and film studies.

In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart.

Once a country of emigration and diaspora, in the 1990s Ireland began to attract immigration from other parts of the world: a new citizenry. By the first decade of the twenty-first century, the ratio between GDP and population placed Ireland among the wealthiest nations in the world. The Peace Agreements of the mid-1990s and the advent of power-sharing in Northern Ireland have enabled Ireland's story to change still further. No longer locked into troubles from the past, the Celtic Tiger can now leap in new directions. These shifts in culture have given Irish literature the opportunity to look afresh at its own past and, thereby, new perspectives have also opened for Irish Studies. The contributors to this volume explore these new openings; the essays examine writings from both now and the past in the new frames afforded by new times.

Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 10, , course: Literature Science, language: English, abstract: The present master thesis, ‘Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men – Narative Elements in Film and Novel’, focuses on the comparision of the narrative in the adapted film No Country for Old Men and the literary narrative in the source text by Cormac McCarthy bearing the same tite. Its purpose is to demonstrate various distinctions and similarities of both texts and to prove that the film significantly differs in inventiveness and the style of rendering the story. The theoretical part explains the concepts of narrative, time and space, Bakhtin’ s chronotope, narrative perspective, focalization and the western genre that are essential elements in the analysis of the relationship between the film and the literary fiction narratives. The results confirm the hypothesis of the thesis and demonstrate that the film narrative significantly differs in inventiveness and style the story is rendered, which also plays an important role in the fates of the characters in both stories.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Filmwissenschaft, Note: 1,0, Universität zu Köln (Institut für Medienkultur und Theater), Veranstaltung: The films of the Coen brothers, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Figuren sind Voraussetzung für jegliche Art von Erzählung. Schon der Begriff der Handlung impliziert einen Handelnden, der die Handlung vorantreibt. Nicht immer sind Figuren im Film für den Zuschauer einfach zu durchschauen. Oft geben solche Figuren nicht nur Rätsel auf, sondern geben auch Anlass zu Kontroversen wie „Kann/soll/darf man für die Figur Mitleid empfinden“ oder „Mag/Hasst man den Helden“. Figuren können auch symbolisch aufgeladen sein und für bestimmt Dinge stehen. So auch im Film "No Country for Old Men", in dem die Figur des Anton Chigurh in den einschlägigen Kritiken oft als Dämon, Geist oder gar Antichrist bezeichnet wurde. Inhaltlich dreht sich der Film um drei Hauptfiguren: Llewelyn Moss ist bei der Jagd, als er auf das Schlachtfeld eines schiefgegangen Drogendeals trifft. Was er dort findet, wird im Verlauf der Handlung sein Verhängnis: Ein Koffer voll Geld. Schon bald ist ihm daher der Auftragskiller Anton Chigurh auf den Fersen, der beauftragt wurde, das Geld zurück zu holen. Während sich die beiden ein tödliches Katz- und Maus-Spiel liefern, untersucht der örtliche Sheriff Bell den Fall, um Moss zu retten und Chigurh hinter Gitter zu bringen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll in einem ersten Schritt die Figur des Anton Chigurh auf Basis von Jens Eders Konzept der Figurenanalyse durchleuchtet werden. Im zweiten Schritt soll die Figur Anton Chigurh als eine mögliche Personifikation des Bösen untersucht werden.
