Beschreibung

Elmore Leonard's gritty western Hombre is accompanied here by his famous short story of rough justice and survival, Three-Ten to Yuma, both of which have been made into classic films

John Russell, known simply as 'Hombre', is a mysterious loner raised by Apache Indians, on the last wagon out of Sweetmary, Arizona, along with a motley group of travellers including a doctor, a traumatised girl and a brutal stranger. But there are outlaws in the desert - and not everyone will finish the journey alive.

This superb Western, published in 1961, was one of the novels that made Elmore Leonard's reputation as someone who had single-handedly revived the genre. It was made into a film starring Paul Newman.

Also included here is Leonard's celebrated short story 'Three-Ten to Yuma'.
