Neblahá i šťastná dobrodružství jednoho srdce.
John Collier Knihy
16. december 1708 – 14. júl 1786
John Collier bol britský autor a scenárista, najviac známy svojimi poviedkami, ktoré sa často objavovali v The New Yorker. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú prenikavou psychológiou a temným, často satirickým humorom, ktorý odhaľuje skryté motívy a zvrátenosti ľudskej povahy. Collier majstrovsky splieta prvky fantázie, hororu a grotesky, čím vytvára nezabudnuteľné a znepokojujúce príbehy. Jeho štýl je vytvorený a jazykovo bohatý, čo čitateľom ponúka hlboký a podnetný literárny zážitok.
