Over the next  four decades, Latour works gently and tirelessly to spread his faith and to build  a soaring cathedral out of the local golden rock—while contending with unforgiving  terrain, derelict and sometimes rebellious priests, and his own loneliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath Comes for the Archbishop shares a limitless, craggy beauty with the New Mexico landscape  of desert, mountain, and canyon in which its central action takes place, and its  evocations of that landscape and those who are drawn to it suggest why Cather is  acknowledged without question as the most poetically exact chronicler of the American  frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957847593215,"sku":"9780679413196","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780679413196_s600x595.jpg?v=1775597671","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780679413196","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
