Robert D. Atkinson Bücher
Robert Atkinsons Schriften erkunden eine tiefe Verbindung zu den Hebriden, einem Ort, den er als junger Mann entdeckte und zu dem er sein Leben lang zurückkehrte. Seine Prosa zeichnet sich durch einen lyrischen Stil und scharfe Beobachtung aus, die den Leser in die Atmosphäre des Insellebens eintauchen lässt. Er fängt die beständige Schönheit und Traditionen dieser abgelegenen Landschaften ein und spiegelt eine tiefe Zuneigung zu ihrer natürlichen Pracht und ihren widerstandsfähigen Bewohnern wider. Atkinsons Werk feiert den Geist des Ortes und den anhaltenden Reiz der Inseln, die er so bewunderte.

Their quest was to last for twelve years and took them from their Oxford base to many of the remote and often deserted islands off the north-west coast of Scotland.Island Going is the account of their adventure.
