Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Thus. First published in 1914, this is a reissue with new introduction of 1979. Some edge wear and creasing to top and bottom of jacket and spine, some slight yellowing to white parts of jacket, corners slightly bruised. price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy of quite a scarce book. 450pp. A leech, a pirate, a predator, an anti Christ, a public benefactor and the fisherman's friend, such is Gillespie Strang in this remarkably powerful Scottish novel. Gillespie is the harsh prophet of the new breed of Scottish entrepreneur, prepared to use any means to achieve his insatiable ambition amongst the nineteenth century fishing communities of the west coast. John MacDougall Hay (1881-1919), was born and raised in Tarbert, Loch Fyne, on which he based the setting for 'Gillespie'. A Church of Scotland minister, his knowledge of such communities and his sombre vision of good and evil shape this, his finest novel. Sadly, Hay died of tuberculosis aged only 38.
