Отрывок из книги
Several years ago I ran into writer’s block while working on a historical novel centered at the life of the 18th century revolutionary, Thomas Paine. When curbed like this in the past I would peruse a rather extensive collection of notes until a certain character or event I happened upon shoved the block aside and moved me forward. This didn’t happen, though, and I found myself parked at a wall with my writing machine stuck in neutral.
Before I filed those notes away I looked at them again and began to see the beginning of a chronicle. I remembered friends who had read portions of the unfinished novel wishing aloud that they knew more about our revolution than what they came away with from school, and I decided to attempt a short history of our revolution for them and others like them.
