Randolph Stow Knihy
Randolph Stow bol rozprávač s mimoriadnym citom pre krajinu a jej vplyv na ľudskú psychiku. Jeho diela často skúmajú stret kultúr, nostalgiu po stratených domovoch a ťarchu histórie. Stow majstrovsky pretkával prvky mýtu a reality, vytváral atmosféru, ktorá čitateľa vtiahla do hlbín ľudskej duše aj vzdialených krajín. Jeho jedinečný štýl, ovplyvnený austrálskou divočinou aj anglickým vidiekom, zanechal nezmazateľnú stopu v modernej literatúre.

There is no stretch of land on earth more ancient than this. And so it is blunt and red and barren, littered with the fragments of broken mountains, flat, waterless. Tourmaline, in outback Western Australia, is dying: its mines lie abandoned and drought has taken hold. When the enigmatic diviner Michael Random emerges from the desert, desperate townspeople see him as a messiah. Random begins to spread the word of God—and to promise them water, that most precious resource. Both a complex spiritual parable and an enduring apocalyptic vision, Tourmaline is Randolph Stow’s most controversial novel.
