John P. Burgess Knihy

    1. január 1954

    John Burgess sa ponoril do zlatého veku Kambodžskej civilizácie v Angkoru, aby oživil jej stratenú minulosť. Jeho román „A Woman of Angkor“ nás zavedie do 12. storočia a odhalí každodenný život v jednej z najväčších, napriek tomu najmenej známych starovekých kultúr sveta. Burgess, ktorý predtým pôsobil ako novinár a redaktor v The Washington Post, využíva svoje odborné znalosti na vytváranie hlboko pohlcujúcich historických diel. Prostredníctvom svojich diel skúma nielen historické udalosti, ale aj ľudské osudy, ktoré sa v nich odohrávajú, a ponúka čitateľom fascinujúci vhľad do dávno zabudnutých svetov.
