JB Priestley Knihy
John Boynton Priestley bol britský spisovateľ preslávený svojím rozsiahlym dielom, ktoré pokrývalo širokú škálu tém. Jeho tvorba sa vyznačovala bystrým postrehom sociálnych problémov a hlbokým záujmom o životy bežných ľudí, často vyjadrovaným priamym yorskširským štýlom. Priestley bol nielen plodným romanopiscom, ale aj uznávaným dramatikom a vplyvným rozhlasovým komentátorom, ktorého eseje majstrovsky zachytávali jeho vášne a jazykovú obratnosť. Zostal celoživotne oddaný literatúre, neustále podnecoval k zamysleniu a zanechal nezmazateľnú stopu ako všestranný literárny talent.
