Mit Vignetten 264 S.

Svým bohatým vypravěčským stylem popisuje autor osudy dětí Tuláka Františka Herriese, především Davida a poslední dcery Judity, která se narodila z veliké lásky a nese v sobě polovinu herriesovské krve a polovinu krve cikánské po své matce Mirabelle. Zdá se, že docela kopíruje jak život svého otce (stále na nějakých cestách), tak i své matky (velmi dlouho se nemůže odpoutat od své první lásky). Podobně jako její otec i ona se provdá za někoho, kdo v rodě Herriesů rozhodně vítán není. Řízením osudu ji částečně vychovává její bratr David, z jehož domu však uteče, aby se do něho po letech vrátila v jiné roli. Její duši je nejbližších jen několik málo mužů, kteří však vždycky nějak zvláštně přijdou o život. Nakonec zůstává se svým jediným synem Adamem tam, kde vyrůstala a odkud tolik chtěla utéct. Leží totiž před ní velmi obtížný úkol, který si předsevzala a který hodlá splnit v dalším autorově dílu.

Příběh dvou bratrů Furzových. Staršího Štěpána, nesmírného skrblíka a necity, a mladšího Michala, který se vrací po dvaceti letech domů téměř bez groše.

Nábožensko - mystický román úspešného autora gotických hrôzostrašných románov

Román je pln zcela aktuálních a jeho problémů, problémů mladé generace, je tu zachycen netendenčně a z hlediska čistě lidského. Mladá žena, svobodná matka, úřednice Společnosti národů v Ženevě, se po desíti letech přesvědčí, že její mateřská láska a její mateřské povinnosti jsoudůležitější než ,,povídání o Ženevě". Celá emancipace žen, práce pro světový mír a pro lidstvo zplaskne na bezvýznamnou hru ve srovnání s tím, že matka musí zachránit svého syna Jana a vymanit ho z vlivu jeho podivínského sedmdesátiletého děda, který z něho chce vychovat hitlerovsky ukázněného totalitního bojovníka a hrdinu. Děj se odehrává na rozhraní Anglie a Skotska, ve slavné jezerní krajině Wordsworthově. Ta krajina žije v románu, žije ve všech osobách, že poznáváme její měnlivou krásu, její vliv na člověka a v tom je jedno z největších umění básníkových v této knize.
