• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Quanah burns with hatred for the Texas Rangers who abducted his mother and baby sister. He takes his dead father's place as a Comanche war chief. His mission is clear. He must drive the white settlers from his people's traditional hunting grounds and defeat the US cavalry regiments sent to protect them. He outwits their ruthless general, Ranald Slidell Mackenzie, in numerous skirmishes, but starvation finally forces him onto the reservation. He prospers against all the odds. Following the white man's path, he becomes a wealthy rancher and influential politician. Through it all, a single purpose inspires him: to find his mother and sister and reunite his family.

Autorenporträt

Christopher Lloyd King was brought up in Newcastle-on-Tyne and educated at the Royal Grammar School. He took up a place at St. Peter's College Oxford, where he read Modern Languages (French). Pursuing an interest in acting and filmmaking, he spent a year at the University of Iowa and gained an M.A. in Film Studies. Subsequently, he became part of the first intake of the British National Film and Television School and, on graduation, was commissioned by the BBC to remake one of his student films. During his long television career, he directed single films and six-part series. Highlights include BBC's "Forgive Our Foolish Ways," for which Kate Nelligan received a BAFTA nomination as best actress, ITV's "The Thing About Vince" starring Timothy Spall (awarded a Silver Rose at the Montreux TV festival), Channel 4's "The Manageress" and "Soccer Shootout," the FIFA World Cup Film of Italia '90. He also directed episodes of long-running television series and commercials in the UK, France, and Italy. His translations of Jean Mitry's "Aesthetics and Psychology of the Cinema" and "Semiology and the Analysis of Film" are published by Indiana University Press and The Athlone Press. More recently, he has turned to writing fiction, producing three novels, with another two in preparation.
