Review: "Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey -

Grey's classic Western lives up to its reputation of trope-filled storytelling while also surprising in lush scenery, realistic and tense action, and unexpected resolutions.

Fulfilling and thwarting classic genre tropes, Grey's novel entertains in its landscapes and surprises in its resolutions.

🌵📚 Dziś przypada rocznica urodzin Zane'a Greya (1872–1939), pioniera literatury western! 🐎 Jego powieści pełne dzikich krajobrazów, emocji i przygód z Dzikiego Zachodu zainspirowały pokolenia czytelników i twórców filmów.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: "𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗴𝗲" 𝗯𝘆 𝗭𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝘆 --

It's been years since I've read a Western (presuming King's 'Gunslinger' doesn't count!). Why not settle into a classic of the genre? And, believe it or not, my first Grey!

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
To bear up under loss, to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief, to be victor over anger, to smile when tears are close, to resist evil men and base instincts, to hate hate and to love love, to go on when it would seem good to die, to seek ever after the glory and the dream, to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be, that is what any man can do, and so be great. -Zane Grey, author (31 Jan 1872-1939)

Je ĉi dato en 1872 naskiĝis Zane Grey, aŭtoro, kies rakontoj formis la fondon de multaj mitoj pri la Usona Okcidento; kaj pli ol cent filmoj estas bazitaj sur ilia libroj. Li ankaŭ atentigis la publikon al la maljusteco kaj malfacilaĵoj, de kiuj la popolo Navaho suferis pro la faroj de nekomprenantaj misiistoj. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zane_Grey

Watched an episode of Zane Grey Theatre with Joan Crawford on
TPTVEncore. Those old TV Western were great: a full story told in less than half an hour (including Maxwell House commercial breaks). That's efficient story telling.
