Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Wild West was tamed more than a century ago. The real question is whether it tamed you too.Look at your days. Every hour is scheduled, every road is mapped, every risk is insured. We have gained comfort and lost something the old riders carried in their saddlebags: the feeling of being free, and the courage that freedom demands. That is why the figure of the cowboy still grips us. Not for the guns or the brawls, but for what he stood for. A man who kept his word without a signature. Who faced trouble rather than look away. Who knew that the widest spaces are the ones you carry inside.These forty-two western short stories bring that spirit back to life across the plains, canyons and ghost towns of the American West. A "certified rainmaker" rolls into a town dying of drought, and everyone learns that a liar usually digs his own hole. An old astronomer spends forty years counting the stars and forgets how to look at them. The good people of Hollow Creek run an outlaw out of town, only to need him when a gang comes riding in. A young rider named Cal takes the Sundown trail in search of the great secret of the West, and meets a coyote on the very first night.Legends where the wind gives birth to a horse, codes of honor settled with a tin star or a handshake, quiet tales of grief and letting go: this is a cowboy book that goes deeper than the saloon door. Whether you grew up on western books or simply long for open skies, you will find here the soul of the cowboys who crossed the frontier, and the lessons they paid for in dust and blood.The frontier is closed on the map. It is still wide open inside you.Saddle up.
