La Tinaja Bonita (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419128929)

La Tinaja Bonita is a novel written by Owen Wister. The book tells the story of a young man named Lin McLean, who travels to Wyoming in the late 1800s to work as a cowboy. Lin is a skilled rider and a hard worker, and he quickly earns the respect of his fellow cowboys. However, he also has a wild streak and a tendency to get into trouble.One day, Lin meets a beautiful young woman named Ellen Jorth. Ellen is the daughter of a wealthy rancher, and she is engaged to a man named Lee Virginia. Despite their different backgrounds, Lin and Ellen fall in love. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Ellen's father is a bitter enemy of Lee Virginia's family.As Lin and Ellen try to navigate their feelings for each other, they are drawn into a violent conflict between the Jorths and the Virginias. The tension between the two families escalates, and Lin finds himself caught in the middle of a dangerous feud.La Tinaja Bonita is a classic western novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, and honor. It is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and the rugged landscape of the American West.In that white formation shot up from the earth's bowels, arbitrary and irrelevant amid the surrounding alien layers of slate, four black stones were lodged as if built into the wall by some hand -- four small stones shaping a cross, black against the white, symmetrical and plain beyond need of imagination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
