Samenvatting:

“[Legends of the Fall] may well be the best set of novellas to appear in this country during the last quarter century." —Robert Houston, New York Times Book Review

New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison is one of America"s most beloved and critically acclaimed writers. Now available in eBook for the first time, the classic Legends of the Fall is Harrison at his most memorable: a striking collection of novellas written with exceptional brilliance and a ferocious love of life.

The title novella, “Legends of the Fall"—which was made into the film of the same name—is an epic, moving tale of three brothers fighting for justice in a world gone mad. Moving from the raw landscape of early twentieth-century Montana to the blood-drenched European battlefields of World War I and back again to Montana, Harrison"s powerful story explores the theme of revenge and the actions to which people resort when their lives or goals are threatened, painting an unforgettable portrait of the twentieth-century man.

Also including the novellas “Revenge" and “The Man Who Gave Up His Name," Legends of the Fall confirms Jim Harrison"s reputation as one of the finest American voices of his generation.
