Книга: Welsh, Irvine «Blade Artist, The, TPB, Welsh, Irvine»
Серия: "внесерийное издание" Jim Francis has finally found the perfect life - and is now unrecognisable, even to himself. A successful painter and sculptor, he lives quietly with his wife, Melanie, and their two young daughters, in an affluent beach town in California. Some say he's a fake and a con man, while others see him as a genuine visionary. But Francis has a very dark past, with another identity and a very different set of values. When he crosses the Atlantic to his native Scotland, for the funeral of a murdered son he barely knew, his old Edinburgh community expects him to take bloody revenge. But as he confronts his previous life, all those friends and enemies - and, most alarmingly, his former self - Francis seems to have other ideas. When Melanie discovers something gruesome in California, which indicates that her husband's violent past might also be his psychotic present, things start to go very bad, very quickly. The Blade Artist is an elegant, electrifying novel - ultra violent but curiously redemptive - and it marks the return of one of modern fictio's most infamous, terrifying characters, the incendiary Francis Begbie from Trainspotting. Издательство: "Random House" (2016) Формат: 233.00mm x 153.00mm x 21.00mm, 273 стр.

[1913 Webster]
1. The language of Wales, or of the Welsh people.
[1913 Webster]
2. pl. The natives or inhabitants of Wales.

Note: The Welsh call themselves Cymry, in the plural, and a Welshman Cymro, and their country Cymru, of which the adjective is Cymreig, and the name of their language Cymraeg. They are a branch of the Celtic family, and a relic of the earliest known population of England, driven into the mountains of Wales by the Anglo-Saxon invaders. [1913 Webster]
