The Desert Of Wheat

Beschreibung

A breathless, sun-scorched odyssey of grit, compassion, and weathered hope on the edge of the American plains. The Desert Of Wheat distills a lifetime of frontier hardship drought into a tightly woven narrative of wheat farming life, where loyalty is tested and romance threads through ruin. Zane Grey's classic western novel is a masterclass in atmosphere and character, balancing stark realism with human warmth. It offers a vivid glimpse of early twentieth century life on the western frontier, where drought, scarcity, and toil shape every decision, yet tenderness and resilience linger in the air. This is more than a story of survival; it is a meditation on community, sacrifice, and the costs of aspiration. Readers experience the rhythms of a dust bowl frontier, the lure of open skies, and the poignant pull of love amid adversity. For historical fiction readers and western fiction fans alike, the book stands as a touchstone of the genre's golden age, a benchmark for the American west setting and for complete western collection arcs. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, crafted to honour the work's enduring resonance and its place in classic western fiction.

Autor

Pearl Zane Grey was an American author and dentist known for his novels and stories. He was born on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. He was the fourth son born to Alice "Allie" Josephine Zane and Lewis M. Gray. His mother was a Quaker immigrant whose forefather Robert Zane came to the American colonies in 1673. His father was a dentist. Grey studied dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his graduation in 1896. He got married to Lina Roth also known as Dolly in 1905. He had anger issues, depression and suffered mood swings which affected his life. And so, Grey spent most of his time away from the family, while Dolly managed his career and raised their three children. Their family moved to California in 1918 and settled in Altadena, California in 1920 in a home they named as Zane Grey Estate. Grey continued writing during 1930s and was in great depression. From 1925 to his death in 1939 he travelled away from his family exploring the unspoiled lands, particularly the islands of the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia. He died on October 23, 1939, aged 67 at his home in Altadena, California due to heart attack.
