Lewis Grassic Gibbon was the pseudonym of James Leslie Mitchell, born in 1901 into a farming family in Aberdeenshire; they moved to the Mearns when he was eight. If the way of life of those crofters, independent tenant farmers, involved an ethic of intensive indefatigable labour, then Gibbon carried that over into his life as a writer. He worked as a journalist in Aberdeen, then as a clerk in the RAF, travelling around the Middle East and India. In 1925 he married and settled in England, in Welwyn Garden City, and began to write at an extraordinary rate. Apparently he aimed at producing 4,500 words a day; he published 18 fiction and non-fiction books before his early death in 1935 from a perforated ulcer.

He looked as though he’d have liked to wipe them on her, but he came in, fierce in his five feet two, the minister was waiting and rose when he came. I’ve come from Segget, Else heard the thing say, and the minister answer as she closed the door, Oh, yes? Well, won’t you sit down, Mr. Peat?

I never saw a greater rearin' i' the parish aboot onything. Uls. 1879 W. G. Lyttle Paddy McQuillan 11: The 68-year-old actress, who grew up in Glasgow’s Kelvinside, said: “I have never met Agyness or seen her act but I’m sure she will make a great Chris. She is a very striking woman and I’m sure she will do a wonderful job. I did a few episodes of EastEnders as Frank Butcher’s secretary and appeared in Taggart, Poirot and The New Statesman, to name but a few.

Robert came out, getting into his coat, and stood at the end of the table a minute and bent his head, fair in the sunny weather, and said the grace, the grace of a bairn; and they bent and listened, all but young Ewan: God bless our food, And make us good.

I think of her as my friend or part of my family. I’ll always carry a bit of her with me.” Vivien was already an established actress when she landed the role of Chris. And Robert would whistle as he looked at his map--What mightn’t a minister do in Segget, with the help of young Mowat or the folk of the schools? And sutors are atheists, bound to have brains, and extremely religious, all atheists are. One could do great things with a village League. . . . nadávky, narážky sexuální povahy, nenávistné projevy, diskriminační poznámky, výhrůžky, odkazy na násilí, Desde el punto de vista de Chris, ahora casada con el reverendo del pueblo, vemos como viven el día a día los habitantes de Segget y como se enfrentan a los cambios del siglo XX tras la guerra, desde sus particulares, dinámicos e incluso chafarderos puntos de vista. Lewis Grassic Gibbon sigue con esa escritura tan maravillosa que me cautivó en Canción del Ocaso, volviendo a forjar una novela inolvidable y entrañable a la que volveré siempre que quiera sentirme en Escocia.Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence II. n. 1. A call, a cry, as to a neighbour in passing, a doorstep visit (em.Sc.(a), Lnl., Lnk. 1967). Cf. v., 2. Arg. 1920 H. Foulis Vital Spark 94:

Syne he said of a sudden, a minute or so later, they were past Mondynes and Segget in sight: Do you mind how Christ was tempted of the devil? And so was I till you spoke just now, I’d made up my mind I’d butter them up, in the sermon I preached--just for the chance of getting out of Kinraddie, settled in Segget, and on with some work. Well, I won’t. . . . By God, I’ll give them a sermon!And somehow you just didn’t tell that outbye, folk would have said that he slept with you next. So you lay in your bed and had a fine rest but that they tormented you to read books and brought great piles to put by your bed, and themselves were so keen that you fair were fashed, they would read you out bits, the mistress or minister, sometimes them both, and you never had had patience with books in your life. You could never get in them or past the long words, some thing there was that stood fast between, though you knit up your brows and tried ever so hard. Chris certainly does not have her troubles to seek. Ma Cleghorn dies, Chris contracts a misguided and doomed marriage with Ake Ogilvie, who is instrumental in effecting Ewan’s release from prison. She muses that, “SHE HAD NOTHING AT ALL, she had never had anything, nothing in the world she’d believed in but change… Nothing endured,” and, “We’re all on leading strings out of the past.” She tells Ewan, “The world’s sought faith for thousands of years and found only death or unease in them.” He replies, “It’s the old fight that maybe will never have a finish…. The fight in the end between FREEDOM and GOD.” Robert stared. But I made it plain as plain. Chris laughed, To yourself; anyhow, we’ll see. And they rode to Kinraddie, and the days went by, Robert didn’t believe he would head the leet. But he found out, for fun, all he could about Segget, from papers and Else and lists and old books, there was less than a thousand souls in Segget, and most of them lost, if you trusted Else.

Wearied? she’d ask, and he’d say, Lord, yes, and frown and then laugh: Looks everywhere that would sour the milk! But my job’s to minister and minister I will though Kinraddie’s kirk grows toom as its head. And would think a while, It’s near that already.Till the wide crystal pavement, bending, rairs Frae shore to shore. Gall. 1824 MacTaggart Gallov. Encycl. 352: Nor marvel ye sair, Tho' close by your lug a bit donkey should rair. Ags. 1879 J. Guthrie Poems 12: Vivien said: “It was daunting. London seemed awfully big to a wee lassie from Scotland. After graduating from LAMDA, I joined the Dundee Rep and did various stage plays throughout the UK. I didn't cry at all when I knew what had happened. I'd given enough trouble," said the Chris that survived all things that came to her. Volvemos a encontrarnos con el particular estilo literario de Lewis Grassic Gibbon: una prosa evocadora, nostálgica y muy visual, con la que nos sumerge de lleno en Segget, en sus calles y en las vidas de sus peculiares habitantes, capturando la esencia del paisaje y la cultura del país. Al final es una novela muy coral con la que Gibbon explora una amplia gama de experiencias y perspectivas, y me ha parecido excelente la introducción de los nuevos personajes y sus evoluciones. Son todos unos secundarios notables que nos regalan escenas bonitas, entrañables y en algunos casos desternillantes. También me ha gustado mucho ver el cambio de Chris respecto a la primera parte, ver cómo ha madurado su personaje y cómo sigue creciendo con inquietudes distintas.
