Sobre este item

Sagamore Press, 1957. Paperback. Very Good. Very good trade paperback shows some mild toning and wrinkling to wraps, couple of rub spots to wraps, light age toning to pages, bit of bumping to bottom corner and some other mild trace wear. 454 pages. Still a tight and clean copy of this first novel in Norris's epic of Wheat trilogy that centers around the immense power of the railroad in late 19th century California.

Sinopse

Like the tentacles of an octopus, the tracks of the railroad reached out across California, as if to grasp everything of value in the state Based on an actual, bloody dispute between wheat farmers and the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1880, The Octopus is a stunning novel of the waning days of the frontier West. To the tough-minded and self-reliant farmers, the monopolistic, land-grabbing railroad represented everything they despised: consolidation, organization, conformity. But Norris idealizes no one in this epic depiction of the volatile situation, for the farmers themselves ruthlessly exploited the land, and in their hunger for larger holdings they resorted to the same tactics used by the railroad: subversion, coercion and outright violence. In his introduction, Kevin Starr discusses Norris's debt to Zola for the novel's extraordinary sweep, scale and abundance of characters and details.
