Phil och George är bröder. Tillsammans äger de en stor ranch i Montana. Året är 1925 och de är mitt i livet, men delar fortfarande samma sovrum som när de var pojkar. När den blyge George oväntat gifter sig med änkan Rose, går Phils värld i bitar och han bestämmer sig för att förpesta sin svägerskas liv på ranchen. Kan någon skydda henne? Hundarnas våld är en studie i grymhet och kärlek, en klassiker som tar andan ur dig.

I 1920’ernes Montana blandt storslåede bjerge og golde dale lever brødrene Phil og George Burbank sammen på en stor kvægranch. Nok er de brødre, men ud over slægtskab har de ikke meget tilfælles. Phil er hårdhudet, men vellidt og beundret blandt de lokale cowboys, når han kastrerer tyre, citerer oldgræske komedier og fletter reb af råhuder. George er en magelig og stilfærdig mand, som ofte overlader det fysiske arbejde på ranchen til Phil.Siden de var børn, har Phil og George delt værelse og seng. Da George uventet gifter sig med enken Rose, og hun flytter ind på ranchen med sin teenagesøn, Peter, starter Phil en ondskabsfuld hetz mod hende i et forsøg på at bringe orden i det kaos og den indre uro, han oplever efter de to nye beboeres ankomst. Som bog falder den i kategorien ‘genfunden klassiker’ og har været inspiration for Annie Proulx, da hun skrev den prisvindende og også filmatiserede ‘Brokeback Mountain’.Netflix-filmen 'The Power of the Dog', baseret på Thomas Savage-romanen af samme navn, har i år vundet tre Golden Globes, herunder Bedste dramafilm, Bedste instruktør (Jane Campion) og Bedste mandlige birolle (Kodi Smith-McPhee). Den er nomineret til 12 Oscars og er dermed den film med flest nomineringer til årets Oscar-show.

Now an Academy Award-winning Netflix film by Jane Campion, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst: Thomas Savage's acclaimed Western is "a pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for fans of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain. Set in the wide-open spaces of the American West, The Power of the Dog is a stunning story of domestic tyranny, brutal masculinity, and thrilling defiance from one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in American literature. The novel tells the story of two brothers -- one magnetic but cruel, the other gentle and quiet -- and of the mother and son whose arrival on the brothers' ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel's startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage's voice -- and the intense passion of his characters -- holds readers in thrall. "Gripping and powerful...A work of literary art." --Annie Proulx, from her afterword

Originally published in 1948, one year after A. B. Guthrie's The Big Sky, Lona Hanson establishes many of the themes of Thomas Savage's later masterworks. In ranchwoman Lona Hanson, Savage creates an extraordinary character: passionate, driven, domineering, and ultimately tragic. As O. Alan Weltzien writes in his introduction to this new edition, "Savage's resistance to, even revulsion from, hack Western plots in film or print stamped his own independence as he set about writing the Rocky Mountain West he knew first hand, from the inside."
