Krátky popis
Both a prequel to the world-renowned Trainspotting, and an
alternative version of it, Skagboys",",is Irvine Welsh's greatest
work.&,nbsp,Mark Renton seems to have it all: he's the first in
his family to go to university, he's young, has a pretty girlfriend
and a great social life. But Thatcher's government is destroying
working-class communities across Britain, and the post-war
certainties of full employment, educational opportunity and a
welfare state are gone. When his badly handicapped younger brother
dies the family bonds start to weaken, his life flips out of
control, and he succumbs to the defeatism and the heroin which has
taken hold in Edinburgh's grimmer areas.&,nbsp,His friends face
similar challenges. Spud Murphy is paid off from his job and faces
long-term unemployment, while Tommy Lawrence feels that only love
can save him from being sucked into a life of petty crime and
violence -- exemplified respectively by the thieving Matty Connell
and psychotic Franco Begbie. And then there is Sick Boy, the
supreme manipulator of the opposite sex, scamming and hustling his
way through life.&,nbsp,Skagboys",",charts their journey from
likely lads to young men addicted to the heroin which has flooded
their disintegrating community. This is the 1980s: not the
sanitized version, of upbeat pop music, mullets, shoulder-pads and
MTV, but a time of drugs, poverty, AIDS, violence, political strife
and hatred -- and maybe just a little love, a decade which changed
Britain for ever. The prequel to the world-renowned Trainspotting,
this is an exhilarating and moving book, full of the scabrous
humour, salty vernacular and appalling behaviour that has made
Irvine Welsh a household name.
