Donn Pearce Bücher

Out of his experiences working on a chain gang, Donn Pearce created Cool Hand Luke, war hero turned "pretty evil feller," whose refusal to "git his mind right" becomes part of his fellow convicts' mythology of survival.

Written using Pearce's own experiences of working on a Florida chain gang, 'Cool Hand Luke' is the story of a larger than life war hero turned drunkard, vandal and convict. His acts of defiance and refusal to conform make him a legend.
