Henry Cockton Knihy
Tento anglický romanopisec proslul svým humorným a satirickým přístupem k zobrazování viktoriánské společnosti. Jeho díla se často zaměřovala na výstřední postavy a jejich dobrodružství, přičemž mistrně využíval jazyk k vytvoření živých a nezapomenutelných scén. Čtenáři oceňovali jeho schopnost proniknout do společenských konvencí své doby s ostrovtipem a ironií, což z jeho prózy činí nejen zábavné, ale i bystré pozorování lidské povahy.
