Wolf Solent [Minkštas viršelis]

The finest novel by an Englishman in the 20th century * Simon Heffer * A powerful genius, whose novels stir us deeply * Annie Dillard * The novel is a momentous piece of work... of transcendent interest and great beauty * The New York Times * Wolf Solent is one of the very greatest 20th century novels... because it renders in an apparently traditional, fictional form some of the most distinctive and elusive experiences of late modern times * John Gray * From the very first paragraph I was gripped. I read it in one sitting, sitting up into the night once I returned home to finish it. It embodies all Powyss greatest characteristics: his profound understanding of human nature, his deep association with the English countryside and consonance with the English people; his relationship with mysticism and his atavistic regard for the past. But beyond that, his prose is perfect. It is one of the truly great English novels and should be a central part of our literary canon. I do not doubt that one day it will be * Simon Heffer *
