“Jag är på humör för att skriva en lång, besynnerlig historia— en berättelse så märklig och fruktansvärd att den kommer att förändra den normale läsarens hjärna för evigt.” —HUNTER S THOMPSON Hunter S Thompson gick så långt utanför ramarna att ett nytt ord fick uppfinnas bara för att definiera honom: gonzo. Han var en journalist som hånskrattade åt alla regler, en benhårt beslutsam figur som älskade att trampa den egna gaspedalen i botten, författaren som alla andra författare försökte efterlikna. I dessa brutalt frispråkiga och ytterst roliga intervjuer som spänner över hela hans sägenomspunna karriär, avslöjar Thompson sig som galen i politik, vilket han ansåg vara såväl ursprunget till nationens problem som, eventuellt, lösningen på dem. I ett läge då politik än en gång är en nagel i USA:s öga behöver vi Thompsons mod och hejdlösa visdom mer än någonsin “Det finns bara två adjektiv som en författare bryr sig om . . . ‘briljant’ och ‘skandalös.’ Hunter Thompson har annekterat dem båda.” —TOM WOLFE “Utan tvekan en av det tjugonde århundradets viktigaste författare.” —JOHNNY DEPP “Det gick en underström av vansinne genom hans verk . . . Hans styrka var hans illusionslöshet inför i stort sett allting framför honom.” —GAY TALESE “Thompsons sanna röst avslöjar sig som tillhörande en amerikansk moralist . . . en som ofta förfular sig själv för att avtäcka den fulhet han ser omkring sig.” —HARI KUNZRU

Swan Hunter - a legendary name in British shipbuilding - conjures up images of some of the greatest ships ever built, among them RMS Mauretania, which held the Blue Riband for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic, RMS Carpathia, which rescued survivors of the Titanic, and HMS Ark Royal, the last Royal Navy aircraft carrier to be built in the twentieth century.From its origins in the latter half of the nineteenth century, Swan Hunter had an illustrious but turbulent history, and it was with great sadness that in 1994 the Royal Navy frigate HMS Richmond became the last ship to be delivered from the Wallsend yard, bringing to a close a long tradition of shipbuilding on the Tyne.

"The hunter's music were the natural music of the sparrow, the weaver, the crickets, the squalling of the squirrels, the mourning of the eagle, the hewing of the woodpecker, the whispering of the many birds and of course the humming of the creeper-I mean snake."The Hunter lives a world of his own with the elements of the forest each time he goes to the bush."I was jolted awake by the sound of an ominous rumbling from the distance. Our canoe rolled from bow to helm as if some giant whale has passed under us, rubbing its back on the keel. I shook my brother awake and pointed downstream where there was a huge dark cloud like the face of a monster, grinning with its ugly gnarled face at us."This was the scene as the wave became angry and threatened to swallow anything on its part
