| 요약 | The novel that introduced the first great American hero: the cowboy The Virginian cuts an impressive figure when the unnamed narrator of Owen Wister & rsquo;s groundbreaking novel first encounters him in Medicine Bow, Wyoming. Dark-haired and physically imposing, the charismatic Virginian quickly befriends the narrator, whom he nicknames & ldquo;the tenderfoot, & rdquo; and the two embark on a three-hundred-mile journey to the ranch where the Virginian works. Life on the frontier is unforgiving & mdash;filled with hardship and violence & mdash;and as they travel together, the tenderfoot recognizes all the ways in which the stoic and principled Virginian exemplifies the heroism and romance of life in the Wild West. Published in 1902 and considered to be the first true Western, The Virginian broke the trail for every great poet of the frontier, from Zane Grey to Louis L & rsquo;Amour to John Ford. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices. |
