Beschreibung
The classic western novel behind the Oscar-nominated film by the Coen brothers

FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY DONNA TARTT
'True Grit is the best novel to come my way for a very long time.' ROALD DAHL
'Portis has made an epic and a legend. Mattie Ross should soon join the pantheon of America's legendary figures such as Kit Carson, Wyatt Earp and Jesse James' WASHINGTON POST

There is no knowing what lies in a man's heart. On a trip to buy ponies, Frank Ross is killed by one of his own workers. Tom Chaney shoots him down in the street for a horse, [...] cash, and two Californian gold pieces.

Ross's unusually mature and single-minded fourteen-year-old daughter Mattie travels to claim his body, and finds that the authorities are doing nothing to find Chaney.

Then she hears of Rooster - a man, she's told, who has grit - and convinces him to join her in a quest into dark, dangerous Indian territory to hunt Chaney down and avenge her father's murder.
