Texas
of James A. Michener
Description
Spanning four and a half centuries, James A. Michenerâs monumental saga chronicles the epic history of Texas, from its Spanish roots in the age of the conquistadors to its current reputation as one of Americaâs most affluent, diverse, and provocative states. Among his finely drawn cast of characters, emotional and political alliances are made and broken, as the loyalties established over the course of each turbulent age inevitably collapse under the weight of wealth and industry. With Michener as our guide, Texas is a tale of patriotism and statesmanship, growth and development, violence and betrayalâa stunning achievement by a literary master.  Praise for Texas  âFascinating.ââTime  âA book about oil and water, rangers and outlaws, frontier and settlement, money and power . . . [James A. Michener] manages to make history vivid.ââThe Boston Globe  âA sweeping panorama . . . [Michener] grapples earnestly with the Texas character in a way that Texasâs own writers often donât.ââThe Washington Post Book World âVast, sprawling, and eclectic in population and geography, the state has just the sort of larger-than-life history that lends itself to Mr. Michenerâs taste for multigenerational epics.ââThe New York Times
