This well-preserved copy of Niven Busch’s acclaimed 1948 novel “The Furies” offers a captivating glimpse into the dark underbelly of the American West. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows the ruthless Jeffords family, who rule their vast New Mexico ranch with an iron fist, stopping at nothing to maintain their power and wealth. Busch’s vivid prose and unflinching exploration of greed, violence, and the corrosive effects of unchecked ambition have earned “The Furies” a place among the great works of Western literature.

Busch, a respected screenwriter known for his collaborations with directors like Orson Welles and John Huston, drew upon his own experiences growing up in a wealthy California family to craft this searing indictment of the American dream gone awry. With its complex characters and richly rendered setting, “The Furies” transcends the traditional Western genre, offering a timeless meditation on the human condition and the price of obsession. This well-preserved copy is a must-have for collectors and readers alike, providing a window into a classic work that remains as relevant and powerful today as when it was first published.
