David Jones

    David Jones byl malíř a básník, jehož literární modernismus je srovnáván s velikány jako Joyce a Eliot. Jeho dílo je charakteristické hlubokou lidskostí a brilantním propojením prózy a verše. Jones zkoumá válečné zážitky s takovou silou, že čtenář prožívá realitu okamžiku, a to i přes hrůzy, které se skrývají za horizontem. Jeho básně, doplněné o pozoruhodné poznámky, nabízejí pohlcující cestu minulostí a naší kulturou.
