Giant Paperback - 2000
by Edna Ferber
Edna Ferber's classic story of a Texas family's rise to the pinnacle of society in the early days of oil wildcatting was the basis of a popular film starring Rock Hudson, James Dean, and Elizabeth Taylor.
First line
This March day the vast and brassy sky, always spangled with the silver glint of airplanes, roared and glittered with celestial traffic.
From the rear cover
This sweeping tale captures the essence of Texas on a staggering scale as it chronicles the life and times of cattleman Jordan "Bick" Benedict, his naive young society wife, Leslie, and three generations of land-rich sons. A sensational story of power, love, cattle barons, and oil tycoons, Giant was the basis of the classic film starring James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, and Rock Hudson.
