O ovoj e-knjizi
The first screenplay by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road tells the saga of rival families in post-Civil War South Carolina.
Set in Graniteville, South Carolina, The Gardener’s Son is a tale of privilege and hardship, animosity and vengeance. The McEvoys, a poor family beset by misfortune, must work in the cotton mill owned by the Greggs. But when Robert McEvoy loses his leg in an accident—rumored to have been caused by his nemesis, James Gregg—the bitter young man deserts his job and family.
Two years later, Robert returns. His mother is dying, and his father, the mill’s gardener, is confined indoors working the factory line. These intertwined events stoke the slow burning rage McEvoy has long carried, a fury that erupts in a terrible act of violence that ultimately consumes the Gregg family and his own.
Made into an acclaimed film broadcast on PBS in 1976, The Gardener’s Son received two Emmy Award nominations and was screened at the Berlin and Edinburgh Film Festivals.
