Escrito por Lewis Grassic Gibbon


Lewis Grassic Gibbon es el seudónimo literario de James Leslie Mitchell (1901-1935), uno de los escritores más destacados de las letras escocesas. Nacido en Auchterless, en el noreste de Escocia, creció rodeado de un paisaje rural de verdes colinas y tierras fecundas. Empezó a trabajar como periodista en el Aberdeen Journal y en el Farmers Weekly; tras haber servido en la Real Fuerza Aérea británica, se instaló en Welwyn Garden City para dedicarse a la escritura a tiempo completo. A pesar de su muerte prematura, cuando tan solo tenía treinta y tres años, su obra, compuesta de novelas, relatos y ensayos, es prolífica. Grassic Gibbon combinaba en sus historias el flujo de conciencia, el realismo social y un lirismo genuinamente escocés. Su Trilogía escocesa, de la que Canción del ocaso (1932) es la primera parte, se ha erigido en una obra cumbre de la literatura escocesa del siglo xx y fue elegida como el libro favorito de los escoceses en una encuesta de la BBC.
