After some consideration I have decided to link you to sitelink Will's review instead of writing my own.
As is often the case, sitelinkhis review hits it out of the park,
This book, EPIC. I disappeared for a few days while reading it! I was late picking up a child, I passed on a night out with a friend, I kept my eyes down whilst walking my dog,
Real life
So, Intrusive.
That's all I've got for now,
I nearly gave this bookstars, but despite loving the description of Eli's three years as a captured Comanche and his life in the tribe, I was disappointed by his lack of spiritual evolution later in life.
The story is layered with the narratives of Eli in thes, his grandson, Peter in thex, and his greatgranddaughter in thes.
The family fortune is built by Eli following his return from exile with the Indians and tours as a Ranger killing Indians and a Confederate soldier killing more Indians and Union soldiers to make some key purchases of land for raising cattle.
During Peter's lifetime, the search for oil obsesses the family and leads to tragic conflict with their Mexican neighbors.
During Jeannine's pampered life, the McCoullogh family having become fabulously wealthy thanks to the oil business sees the male line dying out in her family and her own grasp of the business matters slipping.
There is a small twist at the end, but I'll leave that for you to discover, I thought that the Eli and Peter storylines were strong again despite the lack of evolution in Eli, but the Jeannine one was a little weaker.
It is still a strong and compelling book that narrowly lost the Pulitzer to sitelinkThe Goldfinch, perhaps deservedly so, in.
Nonetheless, if you like stories such as sitelinkLonesome Dove or sitelinkAll the Pretty Horses, you will probably enjoy this one a lot.

“Ferrugem Americana”, primeiro romance do escritor norteamericano Philipp Meyer n. foi um dos melhores livros que li em, Uma história que se desenvolve num cenário americano de desintegração económica e social, percorrido por uma galeria de personagens verdadeiramente inesquecíveis num “policial” negro, magistral, entre o amor e o desespero.
“O Filho”, segundo romance de Philipp Meyer, é uma saga familiar que se desenrola no Oeste americano entree.
Um relato de várias gerações de uma família ancestral, nos cenários épicos do Texas, delimitados por uma imensidão desértica, por desfiladeiros e rios selvagens, polvilhados por uma vegetação densa e rasteira, onde deambulam homens e mulheres “imperfeitas”, bisontes e cavalos selvagens, brancos, índios e mexicanos comboys, tratadores de gado e prospectores de petróleo, e onde as personagens não apresentam princípios morais ou escrúpulos, nas suas acções ou nos seus comportamentos.
A estrutura narrativa do livro desenvolvese em capítulos alternados, em diferentes períodos temporais e narrada pelo Coronel Eli McCullough, mais tarde Eli/Tiehteti, por Jeanne Anne McCullough ou J.
A. McCullough ou Jeannie, os diários de Peter McCullough e no final por Ulisses Garcia e em que temos o apoio da árvore genealógica da família McCullough.
Mais importante do que escrever sobre as inúmeras personagens de “O Filho”, o que é relevante é referenciar as memórias de uma família, ora unida ora desunida, e as múltiplas ligações estabelecidas entre homens e mulheres, com vidas suspensas por ressentimentos furiosos e sonhos desfeitos, e que vão evoluindo ao longo da narrativa, alternando momentos de normalidade e de excentricidade, num misto de tristeza ou de alegria.
O poder das relações físicas e mentais de todas as personagens, muitas vezes assentes no companheirismo e na solidão, são determinantes, mas por vezes apresentam um grau de violência atroz, com comportamentos obscuros e, aparentemente, inexplicáveis, e que vão evoluindo entre sentimentos de culpa ou de remorsos.
“O Filho” é um livro brilhante, no estilo de Cormac McCarthy, sobre várias gerações da família McCullough num Oeste selvagem The acclaimed author of American Rust, returns with The Son: an epic, multigenerational saga of power, blood, and land that follows the rise of one unforgettable Texas family from the Comanche raids of thes to the border raids of the earlys to the oil booms of theth century.
Part epic of Texas, part classic comingofage story, part unflinching portrait of the bloody price of power, The Son is an utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American West through the lives of the McCulloughs, an ambitious family as resilient and dangerous as the land they claim.
Spring,. The first male child born in the newly established Republic of Texas, Eli McCullough is thirteen years old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his homestead and brutally murder his mother and sister, taking him captive.
Brave and clever, Eli quickly adapts to Comanche life, learning their ways and language, answering to a new name, carving a place as the chief's adopted son, and waging war against their enemies, including white mencomplicating his sense of loyalty and understanding of who he is.
But when disease, starvation, and overwhelming numbers of armed Americans decimate the tribe, Eli finds himself alone.
Neither white nor Indian, civilized or
fully wild, he must carve a place for himself in a world in which he does not fully belonga journey of adventure, tragedy, hardship, grit, and luck that reverberates in the lives of his progeny.
Intertwined with Eli's story are those of his son, Peter, a man who bears the emotional cost of his father's drive for power, and JA, Eli's greatgranddaughter, a woman who must fight hardened rivals to succeed in a man's world.
Phillipp Meyer deftly explores how Eli's ruthlessness and steely pragmatism transform subsequent generations of McCulloughs.
Love, honor, children are sacrificed in the name of ambition, as the family becomes one of the richest powers in Texas, a ranchingandoil dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege.
Yet, like all empires, the McCoulloughs must eventually face the consequences of their choices,
Harrowing, panoramic, and vividly drawn, The Son is a masterful achievement from a sublime young talent.
