Hamlin Garland

    14. září 1860 – 4. březen 1940

    Hannibal Hamlin Garland se proslavil svými literárními díly, která se zaměřovala na život a práci farmářů na americkém Středozápadě. Jeho próza, často čerpající z vlastních zkušeností, vykresluje drsnou realitu venkovského života s pronikavým realismem a soucitem. Garland mistrně zachycoval odolnost a houževnatost lidí, kteří obdělávali půdu, a jejich boj s přírodními živly i ekonomickými výzvami. Jeho díla jsou ceněna pro svou autenticitu a hluboké porozumění americkému zemědělskému životu na přelomu 19. a 20. století.
