Virgin

1874, Vaiming, a state in the Wild West, officially called the state of equality. In those harsh times, law and order did not always reign here. Everyone had their own understanding of life, their own rights, their own code of honor, their own six -charged Colt. The main character arrives here in the edge of the mountains of mountains and endless plains to try to understand and tell the story of one of the last romantics of the outgoing era, the era of cowboys and hanfiteres, legends of the Old West.
In the next volume of the “adventure masters”, Owen Wister’s novel “Virzhinets” is a book that really opened and formed the Western genre. Zane Gray, Max Brand, Ernest Haycox, Luke Short and Luis Lamur - the main creators of the genre who came after, learned a lot from Virzhin. The same thing happened in the cinema. Having become a classic western, the novel was 7 times filmed. In one of the film version, Gary Cooper played the role of Virzhin. The book saw the light in 1902, instantly became a bestseller, and a year later was translated into Russian. In this publication, the novel is published in a completely new translation
