Author: Jack Schaefer

Publisher's Summary:
I had lain in my bed thinking of our visitor out in the bunk in the barn. It scarce seemed possible that he was the same man I had first seen, stern and chilling in his dark solitude, riding up our road. Something in father, something not of words or of actions, but of the essential substance of the human spirit, had reached out and spoken to him and he had replied to it and had unlocked a part of himself to us. He was far off and unapproachable at times even when he was right there with you.
The Starrett family's life forever changes when a man named Shane rides out of the great glowing West and up to their farm in 1889. Young Bob Starrett is entranced by this stoic stranger who brings a new energy to his family. Shane stays on as a farmhand, but his past remains a mystery. Many folks in their small Wyoming valley are suspicious of Shane, and make it known that he is not welcome. But as dangerous as Shane may seem, he is a staunch friend to the Starretts - and when a powerful neighboring rancher tries to drive them out of their homestead, Shane becomes entangled in the deadly feud. This classic western, originally published in 1949, is a profoundly moving story of the influence of a singular character on one boy's life.
Members Reviews:
Great Novel!
A remarkable novel. I'd give the movie five stars, also, even though it differs
somewhat from the book (as movies always do). The book and movie would
make an excellent gift for someone at birthday or Christmas.
Great fare for western fans.
Iconic settlers v.s.the ranchers type of western with the parepathetic, lone gunfighter helping the halpless. The movie version of "Shane," as great as it was, would have done well to stay closer to the book, especially in how Shane was dressed.
Great Western Novel
This book is a great Western novel. The characters are well defined and the plot is engaging. Keep this book after you read it as you will want to read it again one day and give to a friend.
Shane: A classic well-deserving of the term
Terrific portrayal of worthy characters and their fierce challenges in pioneering the West. The tension builds on the first page, and grows steadily until Shane and his "family" confront the final evil. We sympathize, admire and very much like all of the main characters, and are especially intrigued by the enigmatic Shane. Excellent book. No surprise that it's a classic for young people (and adults too).
"No man need be ashamed of being beat by Shane..."
THE western classic that everyone should read. An outstanding tale that stands the test of time, and engages every reader, young or old. High quality of printing, and great suggestions for other reading material in the back flap.
