John Erskine

    5 ottobre 1879 – 2 giugno 1951

    John Erskine fu un educatore e autore americano che esplorò gli obblighi morali e intellettuali inerenti alla vita. I suoi scritti, spesso derivati dal suo background accademico, spinsero i lettori a considerare profondamente l'etica e l'intelligenza. L'influenza di Erskine risiede nella sua capacità di collegare concetti filosofici con uno stile letterario accessibile, elevando il discorso sull'istruzione e il suo impatto sociale. La sua opera rimane rilevante per il suo invito a vivere vite riflessive e informate.

      Historický román o Françoisu Villonovi Americký autor líčí ve svém románu s určitou dávkou osobitého humoru osudy Françoise Villona, jednoho z největších středověkých francouzských básníků. Villon, věčný darebák a neustále pronásledovaný rebel, jehož život byl ve skutečnosti možná daleko tragičtější, tvořil poezii plnou lásky k životu a lidem. Svým obsahem jsou jeho verše stále moderní a podmaňují si čtenáře hlubokým citem pro spravedlnost, lidskou důstojnost a solidaritu s utlačovanými. V románu se autorovi podařilo vytvořit plnokrevnou postavu, která odpovídá nadčasovému duchu Villonových básní a zároveň čtivý příběh, zasazený do reálných historických souvislostí.
