Blodets meridian
AvCormac McCarthy
Pocket, Svenska, 2026
99 kr
Det är i mitten av artonhundratalet. Ett gäng skalpjägare rör sig i gränstrakterna mellan USA och Mexiko. Deras uppdrag är att döda krigförande apacher, men rätt snart ger de sig på alla som kommer i deras väg. De är anförda av John Joel Glanton, men den som verkligen styr förloppet är den sataniske domare Holden; en jättelik, blek hårlös man som är besatt av att kartlägga den omgivning han erövrar och förgör. Cormac McCarthy bygger sin berättelse på en memoarbok av Samuel Chamberlain, som red tillsammans med Glanton och hans gäng. Den värld han frammanar är både drömlik och detaljskarp i sin våldsamhet.
'Blodets meridian' kom 1985 och anses av många som McCarthys bästa roman. Det är en fascinerande kombination av historisk roman och filosofisk betraktelse, som pekar fram mot senare mer berömda verk som 'Gränstrilogin', 'Vägen' och 'No Country for Old Men'.

Brutally violent, Blood Meridian is the story of one teenage runaway in the nineteenth-century American South, as a sadistic gang unleashes its massacre across the desert border land.It is the work that sealed Cormac McCarthy's reputation as one of the twentieth century's greatest writers – his magnum opus.‘Imagine if the authors of the King James Bible, their hands guided by Satan, wrote a western’ – The TimesThrough the hostile landscape of the Texas–Mexico border wanders the Kid, a fourteen year-old Tennessean who is quickly swept up in the relentless tide of blood.A group known as the Glanton gang hunt Indigenous Americans, collecting scalps as their bloody trophies. At the centre of this violence stands Judge Holden: a massive, hairless man, mysterious if not supernatural, erudite and cold-blooded. He is singularly extreme in his sadistic violence.But the apparent chaos is not without order – the Glanton gang, too, are stalked as prey.Read as both a brilliant subversion of the Western novel and a blazing example of that form, it is a powerful, mesmerizing and savagely beautiful novel – and one of the most important works in American fiction of the last century.‘In Blood Meridian, McCarthy reaches the peak of his style: spare and ornate at once, repetitious but endlessly readable’ – GuardianPraise for Cormac McCarthy:'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series‘McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ – Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren'[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback MountainPart of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

En far och hans son vandrar ensamma genom ett nedbränt amerikanskt landskap. Kylan är genomträngande och snön som faller blandas med askan i luften. Himlen är släckt på ljus.
Deras destination är kusten, men de vet inte om något väntar på dem där. Allt de har är en pistol att försvara sig med mot de laglösa gäng som rör sig längs vägen, de kläder de bär på kroppen, en kundvagn med mat de hittat -- och varandra.
Vägen är en djupt gripande berättelse om en resa. På ett hypnotiskt kraftfullt sätt ställs kärleken mellan en far och hans son mot en hopplöst skrämmande framtid. Det värsta och det bästa som människan kan åstadkomma genomströmmar detta mörka, intagande mästerverk.
"Hans berättelse om överlevnad och godhetens mirakel bara förstärker McCarthys ställning som en levande mästare."
San Francisco Chronicle
"Ofattbart... Detta är ett bedövande och briljant verk, på samma gång fruktansvärt träffande och imponerande universellt."

The “masterpiece” (Michael Herr) of the New York Times bestselling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road, No Country for Old Men, The Passenger, and Stella Maris “The book that seems the most prescient about the United States of America in 2026.”—Lauren Groff for Time, “25 Books That Capture This American Moment”“Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and Faulkner. I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable.”—Harold Bloom, from his Introduction “McCarthy is a writer to be read, to be admired, and quite honestly—envied.”—Ralph Ellison One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 YearsWidely considered one of the finest novels by a living writer, Blood Meridian is an epic tale of the violence and corruption that attended America’s westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the “Wild West.” Its wounded hero, the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennessean, must confront the extraordinary brutality of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians. Seeming to preside over this nightmarish world is the diabolical Judge Holden, one of the most unforgettable characters in American fiction. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian represents a genius vision of the historical West, one whose stature has only grown in the years since its publication.

A searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece.A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

In this semi-autobiographical work, a man abandons his life of privilege to live among eccentrics, criminals and the impoverished of Knoxville. Suttree is a humorous, compelling tapestry of life on the edge from Cormac McCarthy, author of The Road and Blood Meridian.'Suttree marks McCarthy's closest approach to autobiography and is probably the funniest and most unbearably sad of his books' – Stanley Booth, author of The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones1951. Cornelius Suttree lives alone, exiled on a disintegrating houseboat on the wrong side of the Tennessee River. As we meet him, Suttree watches the police haul the body of a suicidal man from the water. Amongst the living, the river is home to hermits, sex workers, alcoholics – and a witch.Conjuring James Joyce's Ulysses, Suttree wanders the river with a detachment and wry humour, encountering a broad cast of humanity as he does – even as dereliction and destitution threaten the last of his remaining dignity.'Suttree is like a good, long scream in the ear' – New York TimesPart of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.Praise for Cormac McCarthy:‘McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ – Anne Enright, author of The Green Road'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series'[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • The first of a two-volume masterpiece, The Passenger series, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road • The story of a salvage diver, haunted by loss, afraid of the watery deep, pursued for a conspiracy beyond his understanding, and longing for a death he cannot reconcile with God. A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR"Blends the rowdy humor of some of McCarthy’s early novels with the parched tone of his more apocalyptic later work." —The New York TimesStella Maris, the second volume in The Passenger series, is available now.1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flight bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul. Traversing the American South, from the garrulous barrooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, The Passenger is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness.

This handsome edition of McCarthy's completed Border Trilogy in one volume gives the reader one of the most important works of American fiction of the last decades. McCarthy's work is far more than a western, but crosses the borders between fiction and philosophy, the real and the world of dream. With influences ranging from the traditional western; the coming-of-age story; the courtly romance; classical tragedy; and magical realism, McCarthy's masterpiece is a work to be read and read again. This new volume containing all three of the novels, All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, and Cities of the Plain, is a welcome addition to the canon of McCarthy's works in print.

"Gränstrilogin" är den prisbelönte amerikanska författaren Cormac McCarthys tre mästerverk "Dessa vackra hästar", "Övergången" och "Städerna på slätten" för första gången samlade i ett storslaget epos. De tre romanerna utgör ett starkt dokument över en utdöende livsstil i den amerikanska södern under den föränderliga tiden kring andra världskriget. I romanerna får vi följa unga ranchägare och cowboys som tvingas överge sin trygga livsstil på de vidsträckta slätterna och försöka skapa sig en ny tillvaro, fylld av faror och motgångar. "Gränstrilogin" handlar om att våga korsa gränserna mot det okända – även om det innebär att ge upp allting man någonsin vetat om trygghet i jakten på en ny och bättre tillvaro.

En icke namngiven plats i Appalacherna, kanske någon gång runt sekelskiftet 1900.
En kvinna föder sin brors barn i en isolerad bergsstuga, en pojke. Brodern lämnar barnet i skogen och berättar för systern att det dog av naturliga orsaker. När hon upptäcker sin brors lögn ger hon sig ensam ut för att hitta sin son. Genom en mardrömslik landsbygd hemsökt av tre skrämmande och gäckande främlingar färdas de båda syskonen, var för sig, rakt mot den obarmhärtiga och kusliga, apokalyptiska upplösningen.
Mörkret utanför är Cormac McCarthys allegoriska och fabulöst suggestiva roman från 1968 som nu presenteras på svenska för första gången. Initierat efterord av Fredrik Svensson, fil.dr i engelsk litteratur.
”Detta är en roman som utmanar läsaren på alla nivåer." - The Guardian

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • The second volume of The Passenger series, from The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road • An intimate portrait of grief and longing, as a young woman in a psychiatric facility seeks to understand her own existence. "The richest and strongest work of McCarthy’s career…An achievement greater than Blood Meridian…or…The Road.” —The Atlantic1972, BLACK RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN: Alicia Western, twenty years old, with forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, admits herself to the hospital. A doctoral candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead, she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience of the world; she recalls a childhood where, by the age of seven, her own grandmother feared for her; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while, she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers. Told entirely through the transcripts of Alicia’s psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, rigorous, intellectually challenging coda to The Passenger, a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and existence.

A tale of greed and betrayal from Cormac McCarthy, the legendary author of No Country for Old Men and The Road.Brought to the screen by Ridley Scott and starring Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz and Brad Pitt, The Counsellor is an original screenplay that delves into the dark world of drug-smuggling across the US-Mexico border.'McCarthy has delivered a brutal study in grief' – Empire, on the filmA man, unnamed, wants to be rich. So entranced is he by this need, and the desire to impress his fiancée, that he works his contacts to become involved in a high-risk game: drug-smuggling across the US-Mexico border.His contacts in the cocaine trade are mysterious, corrupt and seductive. They speak of a device called 'the bolito' which, around the neck of its victim, constricts and decapitates. They warn of the Mexican cartels, whose brutality is without mercy.And so it is, as the action crosses into Mexico, the Counselor's life becomes darker, more violent and more sexually disturbing than he had imagined possible. Deft and shocking, The Counsellor is a tale of the treacherous balance between risk and consequence.Praise for Cormac McCarthy:‘McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ – Anne Enright, author of The Green Road'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of the Dark Tower series'[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain
