ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy tells the story of John Grady Cole, a young Texan rancher who, facing the loss of his family ranch, ventures into Mexico with two companions. Their initial journey south is filled with the promise of adventure and the allure of a different way of life. However, their experiences in Mexico take a darker turn, exposing them to the harsh realities of a foreign land, including love, betrayal, and violence. The narrative explores themes of loss, the end of an era in the American West, and the complex relationship between man and nature, particularly horses.
