Island: Collected Stories

Alistair MacLeod

Ove spore, lepe priče - odlučne i rezonantne - su mala remek-dela: naizgled jednostavna, ali zapravo napravljena sa ogromnom veštinom i preciznošću.

Nasuprot nemilosrdnom pejzažu Kejp Bretona u Novoj Škotskoj, svi su zabrinuti zbog složenosti i misterija ljudskog srca, neraskidivih veza i nepremostivih ponora između muškarca i žene, roditelja i deteta. Potopljene u sećanje i mit i oprane slanom vodom i krvlju duge bitke sa kopnom i morem, ove priče slave strastvenu vezu sa svetom prirode i kontinuitet generacija suočenih sa tranzicijom, pred ljubavlju i gubitkom. Kao što Džon MekGahern kaže u svom elokventnom predgovoru: „Delo ima veličinu, osećaj, intelekt, viziju, veliku otvorenost i velikodušnost, čak i staromodnu uljudnost. Priče sigurno stoje van mode, dok odražavaju duboke promene. Objedinjujući svu kratku fantastiku Alistera MacLeoda, uključujući dve ranije neprikupljene priče, Ostrvo predstavlja veliko dostignuće jednog od najboljih svetskih pripovedača.
