Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. First published in 1970, this classic coming of age tale has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. "A moving, tragic, and sociologically potent work of literature. Many similarities to Golding's Lord of the Flies and Knowles's A Separate Peace come to mind" (Library Journal). "Send us a boy--we'll send you a cowboy" It doesn't matter if the kid hates the sight of horses. Or if he still sucks his thumb and wets the bed. He's got to be taught to toe the line. To measure up. To dig in his spurs--because that's the way things are at the Box Canyon Boys Camp in Arizona. Based on the adventures of the author's own son, Bless the Beasts & Children tells a tragicomic tale of a group of disturbed teenaged boys from over-privileged families who are sent by their inattentive parents to camp in hopes that their lazy, urban kids will be toughened up in the cowboy program. Complications arise, but these problem boys band together to take up an important cause. In this remarkable novel, Glendon Swarthout presents an electrifying portrait of six adolescent "misfits" on a desperate mission to save themselves. And, in a society dedicated to one narrow view of success, they learn something important about what it means to be a man. This is "an exciting mission-pursuit story with an engrossing cast of characters" (Publishers Weekly). "Includes detailed explanatory notes, an overview of key themes, and more"--Cover. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. This book is in Very Good+ condition and has a Near Fine dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. This copy has remainder speckling on the bottom edge of the text block. The dust jacket is mostly clean and bright, with some very beginning fading to the spine. "With the conspicuous exception of A Christmas Gift, all of Swarthout's novels are infused with a sardonic spirit, usually in respect to examples of the cruelty and viciousness of which man is capable. His greatest bestseller, Bless the Beasts and Children, is a good example of this distinguishing literary trait. Another common theme of his writings is his study of courage, the extraordinary heroism of which otherwise common, ordinary men are sometimes capable, given the right circumstances. In setting free a doomed herd of buffalo, the group of mentally disturbed teenagers in Beasts demonstrates valor during harrowing conditions. The style of Swarthout's writing is fundamentally dispassionate, however, and written in a clear, linear, pictorial style, which is why so many of his stories were adapted easily to film. Swarthout was a great admirer of Somerset Maugham (with whom he studied, along with Ernest Hemingway and Joyce Cary as part of his doctoral thesis in literature) and humorist Charles Portis, who influenced his writing. " (from Wikipedia).
