Pequeño Gran Hombre

Little Big Man, considered by critics one of the most outstanding western novels in the history of the genre, is a fictional memory, an adventure narrative with touches of humor, a well-documented historical novel as well as a tribute to the old West. The novel introduces us to an idle rentier fond of Indian antiquities who is given the opportunity to interview in an asylum an irascible old man of more than a hundred years, the old Jack Crabb, who claims to be the only white survivor of the battle. by Little Bighorn. For five months he recounts to the tireless visitor his eventful life: first he was a white child and then a child and a Cheyenne warrior with the name "Little Big Man", after the murder of his family by the Indians. He tells her that later he made a living as an edge player and a gold digger, and a buffalo hunter, and an army scout... and even became a confidant of General Custer and a friend of Wild Bill Hickok. Using the memories of this fascinating character with an adventurous life, Thomas Berger offers us a nostalgic and ironic journey through outstanding historical episodes, such as the battles of Washita, Sand Creek, Solomon's Fork or Little Bighorn, and recreates real characters from the legendary West like Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, Black Cauldron, Bloody Knife, Two Moons and many others.
