The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner


Considered in turn a Gothic novel, a psychological case study of an unreliable narrator, and an examination of totalitarian thought, the ultimately unclassifiable novel is set in a pseudo-Christian world of angels, devils, and demonic possession. It has been the subject of increasing critical attention in recent years, and has received wide acclaim for its probing quest into the nature of religious fanaticism and Calvinist predestination.It is written in English, with Scots appearing mainly in dialogue.

Neuvěřitelné vzpomínky jednoho z mála přeživších Čechů na peklo lágrů SSSR. Učitel z Podkarpatské Rusi dobrovolně odešel za války do SSSR v naději, že pomůže své vlasti v boji proti fašismu. Šokující popis živoření v gulagu končí vysvobozením - odchodem na frontu. Luťanského vzpomínky jsou obzvlášť cenné pro svou autenticitu, protože je psal takřka bezprostředně po svém návratu do vlasti se Svobodovou armádou.

Robert is a difficult and disturbed young man. He turns to his Calvinist faith for solace but finds it hard to get along with other people. After he falls in with the mysterious and charming Gil-Martin, his actions become more and more extreme. He convinces himself that he is one of the chosen few and that, therefore, all his actions are right and good . . . even murder.

The private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner


He was constantly harassed with the idea, that the next time he lifted his eyes, he would to a certainty see that face, the most repulsive to all his feelings of aught the earth contained'. A nightmarish tale of religious fanaticism and darkness, this chilling classic of the macabre tells the tale of Robert Wringhim, drawn in his moral confusion into committing the most monstrous acts by an evil doppelganger. James Hogg's masterpiece is as troublingly duplicitous as Wringhim himself, and was ignored and bowdlerized before becoming a hugely influential work of Scottish literature.
