β¦ Synopsis
Son Holland e Hugh Allison sono prigionieri in un carcere tra le paludi della Lousiana e sanno di non avere futuro. Il loro destino Γ¨ morire lontani da un mondo che li ha dimenticati. Non hanno nulla in comune: il primo Γ¨ giovane ed Γ¨ finito dentro con lβunica colpa di essere un ingenuo, il secondo invece Γ¨ una vecchia canaglia che nella vita ne ha giΓ viste troppe. Ma per un colpo di fortuna coglieranno insieme lβultima occasione per fuggire, lasciandosi lβinferno alle spalle. Per Son e Hugh inizia cosΓ¬ una fuga contro il tempo, fatta di sudore e sangue, attraverso una natura sontuosa e indifferente, nel disperato tentativo di raggiungere il Texas. La notizia della loro evasione si diffonde, sempre piΓΉ in fretta, il cerchio attorno a loro si stringe come la corda tesa di una forca. A pochi giorni dalla Dichiarazione di Indipendenza del Texas e dallβepica sconfitta di Fort Alamo, i due latitanti, troppo onesti per una terra spietata, sfioreranno da eroi il corso della storia e scopriranno che il loro viaggio li ha resi uomini nuovi. Two for Texas Γ¨ uno straordinario romanzo di avventura, ambientato in uno dei paesaggi piΓΉ suggestivi al mondo, in cui violenza, asciutto lirismo e ritmo incalzante si fondono in unβatmosfera vibrante alla Cormac McCarthy.
