Synopsis

Now in its second instalment, this series focuses on books with atmospheric qualities that are dark and sinister - but not without hope. Their protagonists, some with profoundly flawed personalities, have something of the romantic optimist about them; men and women driven to face moral challenges and to do battle with the forces of evil or plain banality. Features a riveting roll-call of authors, including Diego R. Barbosa (of the acclaimed Novela Ideal series, published by La Revista Blanca), Stig Dagerman, Andre Helena, Leo Malet and Simon Weil.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Stuart Christie was born in Glasgow in 1946. He has been an apprentice dental technician, sheet metal worker, barrow boy, litho printer, gas fitter, bookseller, occasional farmhand, lobster fisherman, writer and publisher. He became a socialist (Labour Party Young Socialists) at the age of 15, but moved rapidly to anarchism. He served over three years of a twenty-year sentence for 'banditry and terrorism' imposed by a Spanish court for his part in an attempt to assassinate General Franco in 1964. He was later arrested and imprisoned in London for eighteen months until acquitted in the 'Angry Brigade' trial at the Old Bailey, one of the longest trials in British legal history.
