Produktbeschreibung

Ian Macpherson's novel, 'Wild Harbour,' follows the story of a group of survivors who find themselves in a post-apocalyptic world where they must navigate both the physical dangers and the moral dilemmas that arise. The book's literary style is characterized by its vivid descriptions of nature juxtaposed with the bleakness of human existence, creating a haunting and atmospheric setting. Macpherson's exploration of themes such as survival, isolation, and the depths of human nature, places 'Wild Harbour' within the realm of existential literature, drawing parallels to works by Camus and Sartre. The narrative is compelling, engaging the reader in the characters' internal struggles as they grapple with the harsh reality of their circumstances. Ian Macpherson's own background in psychology and philosophy likely informed his nuanced depiction of human behavior and motives, adding depth to the novel's exploration of the complexities of the human psyche. Readers interested in thought-provoking dystopian fiction that delves into philosophical questions of morality and existence will find 'Wild Harbour' to be a gripping and introspective read.

Autorenporträt

Ian Macpherson (1905-1944) was born in Forres and educated at Newtonmore, Laurencekirk and Mackie Academy, Stonehaven. He graduated from Aberdeen University in 1928 with a first class honours degree in English. He spent the next two years writing his first novel Shephard's Calendar which was published in 1931. This book, which has been compared to Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song, draws on a rural background to tell of a young man's growth to maturity in a farming community dominated by hard toil and the influence of the seasons. Macpherson continued to live in his native north east, working at farming, broadcasting and writing. In the next five years he produced three further novels, including Land of Our Fathers (1933) and Pride in the Valley (1936), which are set in Speyside. His last book, Wild Harbour (1936), is also set in the Highlands, but it tells of the world detroyed by a future war, forebodings of which were already discernible in Europe. Ian Macpherson died in a motorcycle accident in 1944.
