Fitzroy Maclean

    11 de marzo de 1911 – 15 de junio de 1996

    Este autor es célebre por sus cautivadoras narrativas de aventura y guerra. Sus obras se nutren de extensas experiencias directas, incluyendo viajes, a menudo de incógnito, por Asia Central y combates en el Desierto Occidental. Relata vívidamente su participación con unidades de comando de élite y legendarios movimientos partisanos. Su prosa distintiva capta la intensidad cruda y la inmediatez de emprendimientos extraordinarios y a menudo peligrosos.

      The Scots, said a censorious English member of Parliament in 1607, have not suffered above two kings to die in their beds these two hundred years. He may have exaggerated, but undeniably Scotland has a rough and bloodstained history. It is a complex one too, but Sir Fitzroy Maclean has disentangled the threads, and enlivened his brisk account with both wit and scholarship. Pictures from authentic contemporary sources illuminate his story - its romantic figures and bloody battles, its politics and religion - and provide a rich visual record of Scotland's art, craftsmanship and intellectual life.

      Illustrated National Histories: Scotland
    • Im Hochland Schottlands nahm der Seanchie oder Barde über Jahrhunderte hinweg am Hofe eines jeden Clan-Häuptlings einen Ehrenplatz ein. Die Geschichten und Balladen, die sie schufen, wurden von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben und büßten dennoch nichts von ihrem Zauber und ihrer Faszination ein. Fitzroy Maclean hat in diesem Buch nach seinem an Abenteuern reichen Leben die Rolle eines Seanachies angenommen und erzählt hier seine Lieblingsgeschichten von den Inneren und Äußeren Hebriden sowie aus seiner Heimat Argyll in Schottland, einer grünen, hügeligen Landschaft mit bizarren Felsen: Es sind verwegene Geschichten über Heldentum und Verrat und bezaubernde Erzählungen aus dem Reich der Geister und Feen.
