Sinossi

In 'The Spanish-English Lady,' Miguel de Cervantes offers a compelling exploration of cultural identity and the complexities of colonial interaction in early 17th-century Europe. This novella is characterized by its sophisticated prose and vivid characterizations, combining elements of romantic intrigue with a critical lens on societal expectations. Cervantes deftly navigates the tensions between different cultures, portraying characters who grapple with issues of nationality and personal aspiration, thus situating the narrative within the broader context of the Spanish Golden Age's burgeoning interest in cross-cultural themes. Miguel de Cervantes, often heralded as the father of the Western novel, draws from his own experiences in a life marked by poverty, war, and artistic ambition. His encounters with diverse cultures during his captivity by pirates and service in the Spanish military provide a rich backdrop for this work. Cervantes' keen observations of human nature and the socio-political landscape of his era influence the interplay of characters in 'The Spanish-English Lady,' reflecting his deep understanding of the human condition. Readers will find 'The Spanish-English Lady' an essential addition to their literary journey, as it lucidly captures the interplay of love and cultural conflict. Cervantes' intricate narrative weaves together humor and poignancy, inviting readers to reflect on the universal themes of identity and belonging, rendering this novella a timeless reflection for contemporary audiences.

    From the bestselling masters of the Old West comes the first in a blazing new series about a young deputy sheriff's coming of age—and trial by gunfire—in a small Texas town. This is the blistering saga of a hero in training, from first blood to final showdown . . .  
 
 
 
Flint Moran was fourteen years old when the Civil War ended. He was fifteen when his family bought a plot of land near Tinhorn, Texas. He was barely nineteen when he caught a pair of rustlers stealing cattle—and singlehandedly brought them to justice. How did a teenaged boy track down and capture two hardcase thieves without any help? That's what Tinhorn sheriff Buck Jackson wants to know. He can't help but be impressed by Flint's sharp eye and natural talent with a Henry rifle. So he offers to deputize the boy—tin badge, Colt Frontier Six-Shooter, and all—and Flint happily accepts. But there are things the young deputy doesn't know. And what he doesn't know could kill him . . .  
 
 
 
There's a gunman coming to town. A showdown is brewing that could prove to be Flint's first—and possibly last—test. But either way, there will be blood . . .
