Project description
A project never made Sergio Leone project
The history of a revolver is a collection of stories from
the West that pays tribute to one of the best known of the genre directors.
Towards the end of his career, the Italian director had
the idea to dust off his spurs and return to western. His idea was to work on a
series called Colt, who narrated the vicissitudes of a revolver that changes
hands, and would serve as a thread to show different lives and scenes of the
American West.
His untimely death prevented this project to materialize.
Today, five authors have sought to recover this idea and
make the project a reality in honor of Sergio Leone.
A revolver that changes hands each chapter
History of a revolver is a collection of stories whose
common thread is the same Colt Peacemaker. We seek an entertaining style,
enhancing the power of the image and strength of the dialogues, as in the best
westerns.
Different authors have contributed their own vision of
the genre to form a varied book, but has also been reviewed and compiled to
achieve a harmonious and professional style.
For more than a year Victor Blanco has ridden dusty
scenarios to find authors and styles with various personalities within the national
literary scene. But we did not want it to be a closed call, so we have
organized the "Story of a Revolver" competition to accommodate a
sixth gunman. We need a bullet in the drum. Do you want it to be you?
The conscripted
chapter
Empty out your drum, Tucson! - Luis Guallar
A thrilling story, influenced by the Spaghetti Western,
in which the Colt Peacemaker appears for the first time. Upon returning to his
village of San Tuco (Arizona), the desperado Tucson will realize that nothing
is what it seems. A new generation of criminals, those who wear expensive
clothes and hit all the weight of money and the law, which has made San Tuco a
living hell ... a situation to which the bandit Tucson can only give one
answer: empty your drum.
Pieces - Victor White
New Mexico Territory. The sheriff of La Vega offers a great
reward for a band that operates on both sides of the US border. A story about
women, but also a brutally violent western involving a stagecoach, a proud
daughter of the South and a mestizo bounty hunter. Scenario in which different
broken characters, offspring of a nation in a shattered mood.
The Mountain Clan - Jaume Vicent
The gun will travel away to the deep and humid forests of
the US border with Canada. Peacemaker known there is called Evil, Evil
capitalized: a threat before which all that is humane and just to collude. And
that two mature men who fought on opposite sides in the Civil War, are forced
to join forces. For different reasons, but the same goal: the gruesome Mountain
Clan.
Five Silver Bullets - Daniel Aragonés
It has been many years since the revolver sang for the
last time. Thus, it has become a coveted heritage. It disputed two men fathered
by the same seed, half-brothers but very different. They must join forces to
revenge the plague that fills the streets of Jefferson. Because this is not
just any revenge, but a southern revenge. It's time to dust off the legacy of
the last righteous man Jefferson: Five silver bullets.
Homecoming - David Tourón
The West is living in the twilight before the advance of
modern times. Michael O'Connor is a relic of the past: a gunman up in years who
only wants to return to his home in Las Cruces (New Mexico). But like him, his
home has changed, and a painful reversal of fate called El Coyote will pluck
from him the rest he craves. He must ride fast, crossing the border into the
wild world of pre-revolutionary Mexico. Only there will he find the true way
back home.
