Bøker av Edwin Muir

Born on the Orkney island of Wyre in 1887, Edwin Muir settled in various parts of Europe during the first half of the twentieth century - from Glasgow, to Austria and Czechoslovakia throughout to 1920s, 1930s and again after the war.

Presents four different accounts of what it was to be young and growing up in Glasgow and the west of Scotland, from the 1930s to the 1960s. This title tells a story of how its young protagonist eventually succumbs to a culture of drink and violence where the harshness of life on the land sits next to industrial sprawl.
