Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted play from the legendary Cormac McCarthy, author of No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian. 'The Sunset Limited grips from the very first page' – Financial Times A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment the two men, known as 'Black' and 'White', begin a conversatino that leads each back through his own history. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con in recovery for drug addiction, is the more hopeful of the men. He is, however, desperate to convince White of the power of faith – while White is desperate to deny it. Between them, they hope to discover the meaning of life itself. 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

«Come gli autori da lui ammirati - Dostoevskij, Faulkner, Melville - Cormac McCarthy ha dato vita a un universo letterario piú grande e profondo dei singoli libri che lo compongono. Questi sono gli scrittori che lottano corpo a corpo con gli dèi». «The Washington Post Book World»

From the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road—a startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment, “Black” and “White,” as the two men are known, begin a conversation that leads each back through his own history, mining the origins of two fundamentally opposing world views. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con and ex-addict, is the more hopeful of the men–though he is just as desperate to convince White of the power of faith as White is desperate to deny it. Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life. Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted, consistently thought-provoking, and deceptively intimate work by one of the most insightful writers of our time. Look for Cormac McCarthy's new novel, The Passenger, coming October '22.

“One of the best novels of the year from one of the very best writers at work today.”—Rocky Mountain News The townspeople of New Iberia, Louisiana, didn’t crucify Megan Flynn’s father. They just didn’t catch whoever pinned him to a barn wall with sixteen-penny nails. Decades later, Megan, now a world-famous photojournalist, has come back to the bayou, looking for cop Dave Robicheaux. It was Dave who found the body of labor leader Jack Flynn. The sight changed the boy, shaped him as a man. And after forty years, Robicheaux is still haunted by the bizarre unsolved slaying. Now Megan’s return has stirred up the ghosts of the long-buried past, igniting a storm of violence that will rip apart lives of blacks and whites in this bayou country. And for a good cop with bad memories, hard desire, and chilling nightmares, the time has come to uncover the truth.

"Set in a New York tenement apartment, the story focuses on two very different men, a black ex-con who claims to hear the voice of Jesus, and the white professor he stopped from throwing himself in front of an oncoming train, The Sunset Limited. What follows is a philosophical debate with incredibly high stakes - can Black convince White that life is worth living, that once he goes out that door he should not head for a return date with The Sunset Limited? Souls are bared and secrets shared, with Black's faith increasingly challenged by White's bleak but meticulously reasoned view of a world gone wrong." -- Container. | Performed by Tommy Lee Jones, Samuel L.

The only major U.S. railroad to be operated by westerners and the only railroad built from west to east, the Southern Pacific acquired a unique history and character. It also acquired a reputation, especially in California, as a railroad that people loved to hate. This magisterial history tells the full story of the Southern Pacific for the first time, shattering myths about the company that have prevailed to this day. A landmark account, Sunset Limited explores the railroad's development and influence—especially as it affected land settlement, agriculture, water policy, and the environment—and offers a new perspective on the tremendous, often surprising, role the company played in shaping the American West. Based on his unprecedented and extensive research into the company's historical archives, Richard Orsi finds that, contrary to conventional understanding, the Southern Pacific Company identified its corporate well-being with population growth and social and economic development in the railroad's hinterland. As he traces the complex and shifting intersections between corporate and public interest, Orsi documents the railroad's little-known promotion of land distribution, small-scale farming, scientific agriculture, and less wasteful environmental practices and policies—including water conservation and wilderness and recreational parklands preservation. Meticulously researched, lucidly written, and judiciously balanced, Sunset Limited opens a new window onto the American West in a crucial phase of its development and will forever change our perceptions of one of the largest and most important western corporations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Le père de Megan Flynn avait eu le tort de chercher à défendre les exploités. Il l'avait payé de sa vie. Cloué à la porte d'une grange comme un oiseau de malheur. Les habitants de New Iberia n'avaient rien fait pour identifier l'auteur du crime. Les années ont passé, Megan est devenue une photographe de presse célèbre. Son frère Cisco a réussi dans le cinéma. Tous deux reviennent au pays, un retour qui va rallumer des brasiers mal éteints. Depuis la guerre de Sécession, la haine et le sang imprègnent la terre de Louisiane. Le cimetière de la puissante famille Terrebonne en garde encore la trace. Quel terrible secret Lila Terrebonne cherche-t-elle à noyer dans l'alcool ? Où Cisco Flynn a-t-il trouvé l'argent pour financer son film ? Pourquoi des hommes peu recommandables comme le cinéaste Billy Holtzner gravitent-ils dans l'entourage du frère de Megan ? Entre un ex-taulard au faciès difforme et un tueur qui semble avoir le don d'ubiquité, Dave Robicheaux cherche la vérité. Une quête qui le conduira jusqu'aux racines du mal. Dixième aventure de Dave Robicheaux, Sunset Limited est l'un des romans les plus éblouissants de James Lee Burke.
