Kevin Rushby Poradie kníh
Tento autor skúma hranice ľudského života a civilizácie prostredníctvom svojich zážitkov z cestovania po odľahlých častiach sveta. Jeho písanie sa ponára do tém izolácie, kultúrnych stretov a hľadania podstaty existencie v extrémnych podmienkach. Vďaka svojmu jedinečnému štýlu a hlbokému vhľadu do ľudskej psychiky ponúka čitateľom pohlcujúci a často provokatívny literárny zážitok. Jeho práca je cestou do neznáma, ktorá skúma, čo znamená byť človekom mimo známe spoločenské štruktúry.
