Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton Knihy

    Gertrude Athertonová byla výraznou a plodnou americkou autorkou, jejíž díla se často odehrávala v jejím rodném Kalifornii. Známá svou silnou vůlí a nezávislým myšlením, Athertonová se ve svých spisech, které zahrnovaly romány, povídky a eseje, zabývala tématy jako feminismus, politika a válka. Její styl často odrážel jejího odvážného a někdy kontroverzního ducha, což z ní činilo pozoruhodnou postavu americké literatury. Její díla, přestože nebyla vždy populární, nabízejí fascinující pohled na společenské a politické otázky své doby.

      Set in the Sixties, the narrative paints a vivid picture of San Francisco's Western Addition, characterized by its sandy dunes and rocky gulches. The area, devoid of modern developments, features wooden sidewalks, muddy streets in winter, and dust in summer. Stately houses, some transported from afar, line the streets, each with deep gardens adorned with willow trees, oaks, and whimsical statues. South Park, with its narrower houses, offers a communal green space, reflecting a unique blend of nature and urban life in a bygone era.
