À propos de cet audio

 Author of the National Book Award-winning All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy is one of the most provocative American stylists to emerge in the last century. The striking novel Blood Meridian offers an unflinching narrative of the brutality that accompanied the push west on the 1850s Texas frontier.©1985 Cormac McCarthy (P)2007 Recorded Books Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Historique Effrayant Far West

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The authentic American apocalyptic novel…I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable as Blood Meridian.” (Harold Bloom)
"McCarthy is a writer to be read, to be admired, and quite honestly envied." (Ralph Ellison)
"McCarthy is a born narrator, and his writing has, line by line, the stab of actuality. He is here to stay." (Robert Penn Warren)

This is hard to listen to (McCarthy's style) but utterly gut-wrenching and stays with you.

The greatest journey story in modern literature. Raw and brutal, subtle and powerful. Epic in every sense of the word.

And they rode on…

I've listened to this book three times. I'm still not entirely sure what it all means, but it's a goddamn ride from start to finish.

the ride never ends

Awesome book you should definitely pick up if you like anything western or bloody.

But don’t worry if you’re the squeamish type, MacCarthy elects to be more poetic than descriptive in his writing.

A western like no other

A much easier listen than read. The narrator's fluency of foreign language, characterization of dialogue, deliberate cadence, and expressive tone made it easier to follow a difficult text. I can never say I fully grasp what Cormac is at, but this time through I caught much more.

Narrated Wonderfully

a deep, intense and graphic novel isn't something easy to come by nor enjoy no wonder this novel is "unfilmable" so far.

never read something like this

Confusing.
Enlightening.
Poetic.


The exceptionsl narration really brought the beautiful and brutal world of Blood Meridian to life.

Brutally Beautiful

I really enjoyed this. McCarthy has crafted a story with an iceberg’s worth of extra meanings and insights into the humanity. And he’s managed to do so with of the ugliest and depraved outlaws you’ve ever met.
The narrator’s voice is perfect for this western story.
The main antagonist will stay with me for a long time, much like how he haunts the story’s protagonist.

Loved it. Great story. Haunting antagonist. Fantastic narrator.

Wow what a in depth look at American history. Not a nice look I assure you. But informative especially if near true.
But in the end the pursuit of a boy by a seriously flawed man.
Not pretty but very good in my opinion.

Seriously flawed
