Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Toll of the Sands Paul De Laney is no swivel chair author of the West with a fiction factory at Greenwich Village. He belongs to the Southwest. It is in his blood. He was part of the rough-and-tumble frontier life of which he writes. He knows the dry and arid land where the hot winds blow and the dust devils whirl. For years he lived the life whereof he writes with such truth and enthusiasm. The result is a picture of the Nevada desert - the desert of gray sage, of greasewood, of whirling dust and blinding heat - that makes the blood sting and the imagination run real. Its atmosphere is genuine, its characters stand out life-like and vivid. He writes with conviction because the call of the desert has been burnt into him during the years in the frontier camps that claimed his early manhood. His story is a tale of hot and easy youth. The prospector, the gambler, the wildcatter, the "bad man," the honest miner; all of these walk with amazing vigor through the pages of "The Toll of the Sands." This is a tale for men, but it is one that women too will read eagerly, for the love story which runs like a fine thread through the novel makes its own charming appeal to those who want their adventure to lead toward the golden gates of love.
