Owen Wister

    14. Juli 1860 – 21. Juli 1938

    Owen Wister ist berühmt für seine eindringlichen Darstellungen des amerikanischen Westens, die tief aus seinen persönlichen Erfahrungen und seiner Faszination für die Kultur und Landschaft der Region schöpfen. Sein Schreiben bewegt sich oft in einer mythologisierten Version der Grenze und erforscht Themen, die für frühe amerikanische Siedler und Cowboys zentral sind. Wister erschafft meisterhaft Charaktere und Schauplätze und taucht die Leser in die einzigartige Atmosphäre und das Brauchtum des Westens ein. Seine Romane halfen, das Western-Genre zu definieren und hinterließen einen unauslöschlichen Eindruck in der amerikanischen Literatur.

      Had you left New York or San Francisco at ten o'clock this morning, by noon the day after tomorrow you could step out at Cheyenne. There, you would find yourself at the heart of a vanished world. No journeys, save those of memory, can take you back to it now. The mountains shine, the sunlight glimmers, and the air feels like a true fountain of youth—but the buffalo, wild antelope, and horsemen with their herds are gone. The sagebrush appears unchanged, leading you to expect the horseman to appear, yet he rides only in the past. You will no longer see him gallop out of silence, just as you won't witness Columbus sailing from Palos. The horseman seems close enough that some chapters, published at the end of the nineteenth century, used the present tense. However, time has flowed faster than ink, and those verbs have now changed from "is" and "have" to "was" and "had." This book serves as a reproduction of an important historical work, utilizing advanced technology to digitally reconstruct the original while repairing imperfections. In rare cases, some flaws from the original may remain, but most are successfully addressed to preserve the essence of these historical texts.
