Sunset Song Bewertungen

This book may be read with delight the world over. * * New York Times * *
It is gritty and passionate and one of Scotland's great 20th-century novels -- Jim Naughtie * * Daily Express * *
Beautifully written novel about a rural Scottish community facing the acute changes wrought by the First World War. While describing a way of life in decline, it also presents a vision of hope for the future via its strong female lead character. * * Independant on Sunday * *

Über Lewis Grassic Gibbon

James Leslie Mitchell, 'Lewis Grassic Gibbon' (1901-35), was born and brought up in the rich farming land of Scotland's north-east coast. After a brief journalistic career, he joined the Royal Army Service Corps in 1919, serving in Persia, India and Egypt before he spent six years as a clerk in the RAF. He married Rebecca Middleton in 1925 and became a full-time writer in 1929. He was a prolific writer of novels, short stories and essays and had seventeen full-length books published before his untimely death at the age of thirty-four. He adopted his maternal grandmother's name for his Scottish work including A Scots Quair: Sunset Song, Cloud Howe and Grey Granite. An unfinished novel, The Speak of the Mearns, was published posthumously in 1982.
