Hope Mirrlees Knihy
Naděje Mirrleesová byla britská překladatelka, básnířka a romanopiskyně, jejíž dílo zahrnuje jak realistické romány, tak i působivé fantasy. Její básně, které byly oceněny jako „ztracené mistrovské dílo modernismu“, zkoumají složité lidské emoce a poetickou krajinu.

Mirrleesová tak zanechala nesmazatelnou stopu v literatuře díky své všestrannosti a jedinečnému pohledu na svět.
