Centenary edition of 'modernism's lost masterpiece'.
Naděja Mirrleesová bola britská prekladateľka, poetka a prozaička, ktorej dielo zahŕňa realistické romány aj sugestívnu fantasy. Jej básne, ktoré boli označené za „stratené majstrovské dielo modernizmu“, skúmajú komplexné ľudské emócie a poetickú krajinu. Vo svojej próze sa často ponárala do hlbín lásky a intelektuálnych zápletiek, pričom jej štýl bol charakterizovaný jemnosťou a prenikavosťou. Mirrleesová tak zanechala nezmazateľnú stopu v literatúre vďaka svojej všestrannosti a jedinečnému pohľadu na svet.

Fortunately for everyone, Master Nathaniel Chanticleer, Mayor of Lud, is a man with his head firmly in the clouds ...
