James Stephens

    9. únor 1882 – 26. prosinec 1950

    James Stephens byl irský prozaik a básník, jehož díla jsou často označována jako pohádky pro dospělé. Jeho jedinečný styl spočívá v prolínání humoru a lyriky, což je patrné i v jeho přepisech irských mýtů a pohádek. Stephens se ponořil hluboko do irské mytologie a folklore, aby vytvořil originální příběhy, které odrážejí jeho lásku k irské kultuře a jazyku. Jeho díla jsou ceněna pro svou imaginativní sílu a půvab, který oslovuje čtenáře napříč generacemi.
