Robert Howard Spring Knihy
10. február 1889 – 3. máj 1965
Howard Spring bol mimoriadne populárny a úspešný spisovateľ s veľkou čitateľskou základňou v rokoch 1940 až 1960. Hoci bol po jeho smrti v roku 1965 trochu zabudnutý, jeho knihy sa stále oplatí vyhľadať pre skvelé rozprávačstvo a kvalitu písania. Jeho prístup bol pedantný a profesionálny; každé ráno sa zavrel do svojej pracovne a napísal tisíc slov. Jeho jedinečný hlas, literárny význam a to, čo robí jeho dielo pre čitateľov jedinečným, sa dá opísať ako majstrovské rozprávanie príbehov s hlbokým pochopením ľudskej povahy.

This is the powerful story of two hard-driven men – one a celebrated English novelist, the other a successful Irish entrepreneur – and of their sons, in whom are invested all their fathers' hopes and ambitions. Oliver Essex and Rory O'Riorden grow up as friends, but in the years after the Great War their fathers' lofty plans have unexpected consequences.
