MacGill Patrick Knihy

    Patrick MacGill, známy ako „Básnik navvyov“, bol írsky novinár a prozaik. Jeho tvorba čerpá z jeho skúseností ako navvyho a z jeho služby počas prvej svetovej vojny. Vo svojich románoch zachytáva drsnú realitu života robotníckej triedy a hrôzy vojny. MacGillov literárny odkaz pretrváva prostredníctvom každoročných letných škôl a filmových spracovaní jeho života.

      Songs of the Dead End is a powerful collection of poetry and prose that captures the harsh realities of life in the slums of Glasgow in the early 20th century. With vivid descriptions and raw emotion, the author paints a picture of poverty, violence, and despair, but also of resilience, hope, and the human spirit. This book is a timeless work of social commentary and a testament to the power of literature to shine a light on the darkest corners of society.
