| 5. | Gibbon, Lewis Grassic The Speak of the Mearns
Ramsay Head Press 1982 Hardback Very Good. 2 small tears on dustjacket improved by being in a protective cover. 312g
The Speak of the Mearns, on which Lewis Grassic Gibbon was working just before his untimely death, seemed set to become a worthy successor to Sunset Song, sharing much of the autobiographical content of the earlier novel. The setting is a close rural community, sharply observed by a growing boy. The “speak”, the gossip of the region, is as intense and as bitingly observed as elsewhere in Gibbon’s work, but the actual territory is moved from Arbuthnott to other parishes nearby. Now the sea plays a part in evoking the atmosphere of childhood remembered. Sadly, Lewis Grassic Gibbon did not complete his novel, but The Speak of the Mearns is surely the most poignant indication of his loss to Scottish literature.

Spartacus, first published in 1933, is an inspiring and powerful account of the uprising of the slaves against the Roman Empire in 73BC, led by the gladiator Spartacus.
