Fraser George MacDonald Knihy
Tento autor je proslulý svou sérií historických románů, které jsou fiktivně připsány Harrymu Flashmanovi. Flashman, původně postava zbabělce a tyrana, se v těchto dílech stává vypravěčem vlastních memoárů, v nichž vzpomíná na svou kariéru hrdiny britské armády v 19. století. Romány jsou ceněny pro svou detailní historickou přesnost a osobitý styl, který zaujal i slavné literární kritiky. Díla nabízejí jedinečný pohled na historii skrze optiku protagonisty, jehož motivace jsou často daleko od hrdinských.

"If ever there was a time when I felt that 'watcher-of-the-skies-when-a-new-planet' stuff, it was when I read the first Flashman."–P.G. Wodehouse The first novel in the Flashman series Fraser revives Flashman, a caddish bully from Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes, and relates Flashman’s adventures after he is expelled in drunken disgrace from Rugby school in the late 1830s. Flashy enlists in the Eleventh Light Dragoons and is promptly sent to India and Afghanistan, where despite his consistently cowardly behavior he always manages to come out on top. Flashman is an incorrigible anti-hero for the ages. This humorous adventure book will appeal to fans of historical fiction, military fiction, and British history as well as to fans of Clive Cussler, James Bond, and The Three Musketeers.
