Read Shane Storyline:
Review"The stranger, Shane, dresses in brown, black, and leather and is so tough he carries no gun. He drinks from the trough after his horse finishes. A biblical silence follows him, and people lose their senses when he looks their way. He a man no bullet can kill. He's part attack Doberman, part heroic champion. Shane is a work of literature first and a western second."—St. George Daily Spectrum(St. George Daily Spectrum )"By any standard of measurement, Jack Schaefer's Shane rates as a classic in the literature of the American West. Since its publication in 1949 it has gained a worldwide readership, appearing in more than seventy editions and thirty foreign languages."—Marc Simmons, in the foreword(Marc Simmons )"A real superiority here."—Kirkus Reviews(Kirkus Reviews )"Its pace is steady. Its tension is of the uncoiling spring variety. It's as clean as a hound's tooth."--Saturday Review of Literature(Saturday Review of Literature )"The author has created a tale which captivates the reader's attention from beginning to end. His skill in depicting a character, a situation, or a mood, with a minimum of words, gives the story a tightly-woven quality often lacking in present-day novels. The book almost demands completion in one sitting."—Library Journal(Library Journal )Pages of Shane :
