Değerlendirmeler
‘Deeply accomplished… this splendid book preserves the memory of great deeds performed in a heroic era’ Frank McLynn, Sunday Times ‘Bella Bathurst has built a lamp herself: it illuminates the work of a literary hero, a family business, a habit of mind and a Scottish period… from the summit of this first terrific book she looks to become one of the best biographers of her generation’ Andrew O’Hagan, The Times ‘An enthralling story, vivaciously recounted… These were epic and scarifying adventures, indicative of an age when the taming of nature was a philosophical given, its execution a religious passion’ Alan Taylor, Observer ‘This is a grand book doing for lighthouses what Dava Sobel’s Longitude did for marine chronometers, and doing it, if comparisons are to be made, with considerably more panache’ Nicholas Bagnall, Sunday Telegraph
