Shane: The Critical Edition
Cuvânt înainte de Marc Simmons Autor Jack Schaefer Editat de James C. Worken Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 1984
Shane was made into an award-winning film that—like the novel—became a standard by which later westerns were judged. Readers who have already felt the novel's power or are approaching it for the first time, will find this edition indispensable for coming to terms with its fascinating simplicity, its richness, and its puzzles.
This edition reprints the original text of the novel (in 1954 it was edited to remove words that might offend). In addition, the best critical essays about Schaefer and about Shane are included to provide historical and comparative background. An interview with Jack Schaefer and an afterword written by him complete this volume.

Recenzii
Jack Schaefer is not a writer of conventional westerns ... [his work is] tautly and tightly constructed ... [with] additional ingredients that make for complex storytelling
If you read only one western in your life, this is the one
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
Its tension is of the uncoiling spring variety. It's as clean as a hound's tooth
SHANE is a work of literature first and a western second
A real superiority here
