Download or read book Peter Blue One Gun Man written by Frederick Schiller Faust and published by . This book was released on 2022-08 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Peter Blue, One-Gun Man', Frederick Schiller Faust crafts a gritty tale of honor, vengeance, and redemption in the American frontier. This classic Western novel, written under Faust's pseudonym Max Brand, masterfully blends terse prose with a rich narrative, evoking the lawless era where a single gun could dictate one's fate. The story's eponymous Peter Blue is a character carved from the very landscape of the Old West, exemplifying the lone wanderer archetype who finds himself entangled in a web of moral quandaries and rugged confrontations. Set within the expansive, unforgiving terrain, Faust's literary style is notable for its spare, muscular writing and an unflinching approach to the Western genre's thematic elements. The republishing by DigiCat Publishing gives this timeless work new life, ensuring that Faust's contribution to Western literature continues to be celebrated in the context of global cultural heritage. Frederick Schiller Faust, an incredibly prolific author known for his Western stories, used the pseudonym Max Brand to explore themes deeply rooted in the American psyche – the untamed wilderness, the complexity of heroism, and the quest for justice. His personal fascination with the West, despite the East Coast upbringing, led him to pen numerous novels that defined and revitalized the Western genre. Influenced by the socio-historical backdrop of early 20th century America and its mythologizing of the 'Wild West,' Faust's writing was both a product and a reflection of the cultural zeitgeist, a narrative canvas where he projected the virtues and vices emblematic of the era. 'DigiCat Publishing's edition of 'Peter Blue, One-Gun Man' comes highly recommended for aficionados of classic Westerns and readers yearning to experience the genre's golden age through the vision of one of its most esteemed practitioners. Faust's nuanced portrayal of the American frontier and his adeptness at storytelling provide a compelling read that resonates with its audience, transcending time. The preservation of this work as a classic of world literature affords an enriching opportunity for readers to engage with the visceral landscape of human struggle that Faust so eloquently mapped onto the page.

Download or read book Max Brand Western Giant written by William F. Nolan and published by Popular Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called the King of the Pulps, Frederick Schiller Faust, aka Max Brand, wrote nearly 400 Westerns from The Untamed to Destry Rides Again--a total of more than 220 books in this genre. Yet Max Brand also created Dr. Kildare (of books, films, and television) and wrote under twenty-one pseudonyms, in another dozen genres. This book removes the mask, with deeply personal memoirs from family, friends and fellow writers, taking us through his orphaned boyhood on the brutal ranches of California, his frustrating decades in Italy, as both a classical poet and a fast-action pulpist, to his heroic death as a war correspondent on the World War II battlefields. Faust's life story is augmented by a complete bibliography of his work--over a thousand books, stories, and films--plus the first listing of works about Faust.
