When the sun starts to set and the sky gleams pink, What could that be rattling beneath the kitchen sink? As the moon starts to rise and to bed we all go, Under the bed I spy a purple spotted nose.
David McDowall Knihy
1. leden 1945
David McDowall je autorem, jehož díla čerpají z rozsáhlých zkušeností z různých koutů světa, včetně pobytů v Hong Kongu, Iráku, Libanonu a Rakousku. Jeho psaní se hluboce noří do historie, se zvláštním zaměřením na Blízký východ, kde se věnoval otázce Palestiny, libanonskému konfliktu a kurdskému obyvatelstvu napříč Íránem, Irákem, Sýrií a Tureckem. Jeho literární zájem se nyní obrací k historickým krajinám Británie, kde vytváří průvodce pro pěší turisty. McDowallův styl se vyznačuje podrobným historickým zkoumáním a propojením politických událostí s geografickými a kulturními kontexty.
