John Buchan

Prester John

Prester John is a splendid story, not merely compact with thrilling scenes, but distinguished by a fine literary flavour, due partly to the authors style and partly to his ability to describe men who are not mere automatons. Davie Crawfurd, Laputa, Wardlaw, an Aberdeen schoolmaster; Henriques, a dirty Portuguese scoundrel, and others are men of flesh and blood as living and real as the people one meets every day in the street, and a great deal more interesting.--Scotsman.

    Мне было 13 или 14, когда я ее прочитал в первый раз, и это была вторая или третья книга на английском в моей жизни. Она хороша была тогда, хороша и наивна сейчас.
