Gustave Aimard

    13. září 1818 – 20. červen 1883

    Gustave Aimard, známý také jako autor dobrodružných románů o amerických indiánech, ve svém díle mistrně prolíná autobiografické, antropologické a historické prvky. Jeho texty, často překládané do mnoha jazyků, zkoumají ztracené světy a postavy na pokraji společnosti. Aimardův jedinečný styl, který se vyhýbá konvenčním vyprávěním, čtenáře vtahuje do syrových a nebezpečných krajin, kde se realita prolíná s legendou. Jeho literární význam spočívá v zachycení prchavého ducha doby a v nekompromisním pohledu na lidskou přirozenost.

    • Dobrodružný román francouzského spisovatele (1818-1883), autora řady dobrodružných a námořních románů, uvádí do ovzduší americké prérie z konce třicátých let minulého století, kdy Indiáni bojují svůj "nekonečný a předem ztracený boj s bílými osídlenci". Napínavý děj, plný zápletek a překvapení, nelíčí Indiány jednostranně, ale tak, jací opravdu byli. Převyprávěná verze představuje proti originálu citlivé a promyšlené zkrácení.
