    I have no idea how to explain it better, but I'm looking for books written similarly to Elsa's monologues from tv series 1883.

    Some eamples:

    • “I remember the first time I saw it. Tried to find words to describe it. But I couldn’t. Nothing had prepared me. No books. No teachers. Not even my parents. I heard a thousand stories… But none could describe this place. It must be witness to be understood. And yet, I’ve seen it. And I understand it less than when I first cast eyes on this place.
    • “Some called it the American Desert. Others, the Great Plains. But those phrases were invented by professors at universities. Surrounded by the illusion of order. And the fantasy of right and wrong. To know it, you must walk. Bleed until it’s dark. Drown in its rivers. Then its name becomes clear. It is Hell. And there are demons everywhere.”
    • “What began as a journey had become a retreat into the unknown. We were backing into the abyss; so worried our sins would follow us we didn’t bother watching where we walked. And behind us was a cliff.”
    • “Death is everywhere on the prairie. In every form you can imagine. And a few your worst nightmare couldn’t muster.” “Death hides in creek beds. Possesses animals. It hides in tall grass, waiting. With every death, our father moved camp a little further away. As if death was not the result of accidents and disease, but death was its own disease. And carelessness was contagious.” “But of all the perils awaiting us – sickness and snakes, bad horses and bandits – there was one thing above all that sent terror through both man and beast… There was one word so feared it was barely spoken and barely whispered… River.”

    I would love to read books written this way. I don't even know how to describe it better, some kind of dramatic, poetic way.

    I'm not looking for nonfiction books, fantasy, horror, thrillers.

    I would love to read historical fiction, especially set in english speaking countries or europe, maybe adventures, historical events etc. Something similar to the series would be the best btw.
