Vor vierzehn Jahren zog Prues große Liebe nach England. Alles, was sie sich wünscht, ist Logan wiederzusehen und dann steht er plötzlich vor ihr.

The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner is a startling tale of murder and madness set in a time of troubles like our own. Robert Wringhim is a religious fanatic: one of God's chosen who believes himself free to disregard the strictures of morality—a view in which he is much encouraged by the elusive, peculiarly striking foreigner who becomes his dearest friend. Describing the seductive mutual dependence of these soulmates and the way—efficient at first, then increasingly intoxicated—they go about settling scores with their (and of course God's) enemies, James Hogg presents a powerful picture of evil in the world and in the heart and mind. This work of black humor, acute psychological insight, and, in the end, deeply compassionate humanity is one of the masterpieces of literature in English.

Jediná kniha skotského autora z počátku minulého století, přítele sira Waltera Scotta a obyčejného pastevce. Kniha sestává z dvojího zpracování téhož příběhu vyprávěného jednou „vševědoucím“ vypravěčem, podruhé pak hlavním hrdinou příběhu ve formě jeho soukromého deníku. Východiskem knihy je existence náboženských sekt kalvínského vyznání, jejichž příslušníci věřili v Boží předurčení člověka ke spáse či záhubě, které člověk nemůže svým životem v žádném případě změnit. Autor v knize ironizuje a dovádí do absurdity víru těchto sekt a spojuje živé realistické líčení postav a krajiny s groteskními, fantastickými obrazy. Knihu je možné číst jako prazvláštní detektivní příběh i jako ironizující studii extrémního, vysoce netolerantního a agresivního typu křesťanství, které doslova zaměnilo Boha za ďábla.

In early years of 18th century, Scotland is torn by religious and political strife. The sinner, justified by his Calvinist conviction that his own salvation is pre-ordained, is suspected of involvement in a series of crimes. A century later his memoirs reveals truth. The tale illustrates effect of self-righteous bigotry on a fanatical character.
