1. Cavalli Selvaggi
A young Texan, John Grady Cole, reeling from the loss of his family ranch, rides to Mexico with a friend seeking work and freedom; his virtuoso horsemanship wins him a place on a hacienda and an intense, ill-fated romance with the landowner’s daughter, but their affair and the brothers’ entanglements with local power and violence lead to betrayals, imprisonment, and hard-earned lessons about honor, loss, and the brutal costs of growing up on the border.
