Mark Renton has it all: he`s good-looking, young, with a pretty girlfriend and a place at university. But there`s no room for him in the 1980s. Thatcher`s government is destroying working-class communities across Britain, and the post-war certainties of full employment, educational opportunity and a welfare state are gone. When his family starts to fracture, Mark`s life swings out of control and he succumbs to the defeatism which has taken hold in Edinburgh`s grimmer areas. The way out is heroin. It`s no better for his friends. Spud Murphy is paid off from his job, Tommy Lawrence feels himself being sucked into a life of petty crime and violence - the worlds of the thieving Matty Connell and psychotic Franco Begbie. Only Sick Boy, the supreme manipulator of the opposite sex, seems to ride the current, scamming and hustling his way through it all. Skagboys charts their journey from likely lads to young men addicted to the heroin which has flooded their disintegrating community. This is the 1980s: a time of drugs, poverty, AIDS, violence, political strife and hatred - but a lot of laughs, and maybe just a little love; a decade which changed Britain for ever. The prequel to the world-renowned Trainspotting, this is an exhilarating and moving book, full of the scabrous humour, salty vernacular and appalling behaviour that has made Irvine Welsh a household name.

Skagboys - Irvin Velš

Mark Renton ima sve: zgodan je, mlad, ima lepu devojku i mesto na univerzitetu. Ali za njega nema mesta u osamdesetim godinama 20. veka. Tačerkina vlada uništava radničke zajednice širom Britanije, a posleratne izvesnosti pune zaposlenosti, obrazovnih mogućnosti i države blagostanja su nestale. Kada se njegova porodica počne raspadati, Markov život izmiče kontroli i on podleže defetizmu koji je zahvatio mračnije delove Edinburga. Izlaz je heroin. Nije ništa bolje ni za njegove prijatelje. Spadu Merfiju plaćaju posao, Tomi Lorens se oseća kao da ga usisava život pun sitnog kriminala i nasilja - svet lopova Matija Konela i psihotičnog Franka Begbija. Samo Sik Boj, vrhovni manipulator suprotnog pola, izgleda da jaše struju, prevarujući i probijajući se kroz sve to. Skagbojsi prate njihovo putovanje od potencijalnih momaka do mladića zavisnih od heroina koji je preplavio njihovu raspadajuću zajednicu. Ovo su osamdesete godine 20. veka: vreme droge, siromaštva, side, nasilja, političkih sukoba i mržnje - ali mnogo smeha, i možda samo malo ljubavi; decenija koja je zauvek promenila Britaniju. Kao prednastavak svetski poznatog „Trejnspotinga“, ovo je uzbudljiva i dirljiva knjiga, puna oštroumnog humora, slanog narodnog jezika i užasnog ponašanja koje je Irvina Velša učinilo poznatim imenom.
