Zane Grey – Master Writer Of The Western Story

Zane Grey (1872–1939) was an American author best known for his popular adventure novels and stories that presented an idealized image of the Old West. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) was his bestselling book.

In addition to the success of his printed works, they later had second lives and continuing influence when adapted as films and TV productions.

Zane Grey, the Western writer, shaped the way the world will forever perceive the “Old West.”

In 57 novels, 10 books of Western nonfiction, and 130 movies, Grey, who died in 1939 at age 67, almost single-handedly created the “Myth of the West.” His respectful treatment of Indians was ahead of its time; his word paintings of some of the most spectacular country may never be equalled.

A prolific American writer and pioneer of Western as a new literary genre, Zane Grey produced over sixty books during his career. He presented the West as a moral battle ground, in which his characters are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past, or destroyed because of their inability to change.

Grey’s stories, set against the beautiful but harsh landscape of the West, have fascinated readers all over the world.

Superb Complete 53 Volume Set of Balzac’s Human Comedy

Honoré de Balzac (1799 – 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of short stories and novels collectively entitled La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of French life in the years after the fall of Napoleon I in 1815.

This literary work consists of a hundred short stories and novels written by Balzac during the early 19th century. They are compiled into different sections. The titles of these sections are: Scenes from Private life, Scenes from Provincial life, Scenes from Parisian life, Scenes from Political Life, Scenes from Military life, Scenes from Country Life, and Philosophical Studies.

These novels were first published between the years 1825-1848.
