Philip Meyer – Son. A gift book in a leather binding.

Philip Meyer’s novel “Son” is a large‑scale American epic saga that covers the story of three generations of the Texas McCullough family. The narrative is divided into three intertwining storylines, each reflecting a specific era in the formation of Texas. The central figure of the book is Eli, who was kidnapped as a child by the Comanche tribe and raised by them in the harsh conditions of the Wild West. As an adult, Eli uses the ruthless fighting skills he learned from the Indians to build a colossal cattle and oil empire. His son Peter, by contrast, suffers from family cruelty and tries to find a humane path, torn between duty and morality. The third storyline belongs to Eli’s great‑granddaughter, Ginny, who takes the reins in the male‑dominated world of the oil business in the twentieth century. Mayer explores the themes of cruelty, racism, legacy, and the enormous price that had to be paid for the American Dream.
The book impresses with its historical accuracy, profound psychological insight, and an honest, unromanticized view of the conquest of wild lands. The result is a powerful and harsh drama about how modern America came into being and how violence can be passed down through generations.
