Summary
Elmore Leonard: Cowboy stories: at 3:10 for Yuma and other stories from the wild west
The Western on paper never died - that, just look at our newsstands, packed with so-called cowboy pulp literature that proudly survived the disappearance of "Ninja", "Heijzi" and "Luna the King of Midnight". And the cowboys in the movie? Despite the restless but always exciting ride through history, they always came back even when everyone wrote them off - whether the spaghetti of exploitation replaced the retro patriotism of John Wayne, or whether the new-age retro revisions eroded the myth of the honest gunslinger who walks off into the sunset...
It is known that Tarantino, as a teenager obsessed with Elmore Leonard's writing, stole his novel "The Switch" from a bookstore, lest he be caught and punished... Many years later, he filmed "Jackie Brown" based on Leonard's novel "Rum Punch" (which you could read in the edition of the Colorful Shop). Tarantino honestly paid for the rights to adaptations of as many as five different Elmore novels, and in that pile of titles are his typical stories about thievery, gangsters, fraudsters, easy women and hard jobs, all the way to good old cowboys. The latter, therefore, Leonard not only "knew how to write", but also started his career in the world of letters on them, back in the middle of the 20th century. The book you are holding in your hands is like that: the first collection of Leonardo's legendary cowboy stories translated into Croatian. Therefore, turn off the TV and mobile phone, cool down the computer and sit comfortably somewhere where you will not be disturbed by the sounds of cars. And go on a journey through the Wild West...
(from the foreword by Velimir Grgić)
