Jon Adams

    Tento autor prozkoumává, jak fikce dokáže zprostředkovat zážitky lépe než pouhá fakta. Jeho román, inspirovaný čtyřletou světovou plavbou na palubě jachty, se ponořuje do hlubin narativu, aby zachytil esenci cestování. Pochopením, že deníky samy o sobě nedokážou podat ucelený příběh, autor využívá sílu vyprávění k oživení vzpomínek a zprostředkování pocitů ostatním. Jeho dílo ukazuje, že skutečné vyprávění často vyžaduje více než jen záznam událostí, a že skutečný příběh může být uvěřitelnější a působivější než holá pravda.
