'Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Captain Jefferson Kyle Kid. I'll tell you the news from all over the world tonight,' said Captain Kid (Tom Hanks).
Immediately after the Civil War, the inhabitants of the settlement were not easily accessible to the news, and Captain Kid was walking across the town to read the world news aloud.
Captain Kid travels from town to town in the wilderness with a horse.
'I've never heard of a man like you. Tell me a story,' he is curiously asked during the journey.
However, at the beginning, it seemed that he was wearing well-tailored clothes, but Captain Kidd's life was never rich.

The top reviews are as follows.
A story of an old man and a girl set in Texas after the Civil War
Following the Civil War, which ended with a victory in the north in 1865, the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of 1870 gave blacks the right to vote (ironically, more women got the right to vote. Later in 1920).
During the Archetypal Old West, there were many lawless zones, and there was a rush of instability between supporters in the north and supporters in the south.
Captain Kidd, a 70-year-old veteran, travels around the countryside to read news gathered from around the world. The news that Capt. Kidd chose and read was not only informative, but also a rare entertainment for the inhabitants of the settlement, where newspapers were hard to come by.
In the area he was visiting for news reading, Kidd was asked to take a white girl rescued from the Kiowa tribe of the Indians to his relatives. His parents, who were German immigrants, were killed in an Indian attack, and only Johanna, then six, was kidnapped without being killed. Raised by the Kiowa tribe for four years, Johanna has become an Indian and can't speak German or English. And he doesn't understand that he was abandoned by the Indian family and wants to return to his only known parent.
Kidd quietly responds to the difficulties, even though he has a 10-year-old girl who can't communicate and acts according to Indian conventions. Then, a strange friendship grows between the old man and the girl. However, being a personality forces Kidd to make difficult choices ...
The story of News of the World is simple and has few pages.
You may be surprised that such a work has become the finalist for the National Book Awards.
However, as I read it, I noticed and impressed with the story and the ingenuity of the sentences that seemed simple.
Capt. Kidd's coolness, which is unaffected by religion and ideology and quietly sticks to his ethics, and the relationship of trust that looks wild and sharp like a comrade that Johanna nurtures are fascinatingly spelled out for a long time. It is a work that leaves a lasting impression.
The author seems to have investigated the literature at that time in detail when writing this novel. In particular, the reports on children kidnapped by Indian tribes are interesting. White children who lived with Indians, even if it was less than a year old, never blended in with white customs and tried to return to the tribe that kidnapped them. Johanna's psychology and behavior are by no means fake.
I also felt lonely that the era when collecting and reading news became a job was about to end with Capt. Kidd's career.
With the spread of social media, even now that fake news is more active than major media, will one day be spelled out nostalgic?
