La Dernière Frontière

Rate this book
1878. Les Indiens cheyennes sont chassés des Grandes Plaines et parqués en Territoire indien, aujourd'hui l'Oklahoma.

Dans cette région aride du Far West, les Cheyennes assistent, impuissants, à l'extinction programmée de leur peuple. Jusqu'à ce que trois cents d'entre eux, hommes, femmes, enfants, décident de s'enfuir pour retrouver leur terre sacrée des Black Hills.

À leur poursuite, soldats et civils arpentent un pays déjà relié par les chemins de fer et les lignes télégraphiques. Et tentent à tout prix d'empêcher cet exode, ultime sursaut d'une nation prête à tout pour retrouver liberté et dignité.

La Dernière Frontière est l'un des plus grands livres consacrés à la question indienne : tout un chapitre de l'Histoire américaine défile ici au rythme haletant d'un film sur grand écran.

Howard Fast was one of the most prolific American writers of the twentieth century. He was a bestselling author of more than eighty works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and screenplays. The son of immigrants, Fast grew up in New York City and published his first novel upon finishing high school in 1933. In 1950, his refusal to provide the United States Congress with a list of possible Communist associates earned him a three-month prison sentence. During his incarceration, Fast wrote one of his best-known novels, Spartacus (1951). Throughout his long career, Fast matched his commitment to championing social justice in his writing with a deft, lively storytelling style.
