Prin urmare, m-am ascuns pe aleile din spatele fabricilor, înconjurată de gunoaie, în timp ce o miasmă dulceagă umplea aerul, alterată doar de mirosul înțepător al prafului de pușcă. Protejată de umbre, i-am privit pe membrii bandei Peaky Blinders cum jefuiesc și omoară, cum înșală și mint, cum supraviețuiesc și se răzbună.

I personally really enjoyed the earlier bits about the slogging gangs of the 1800's. Chinn really built the atmosphere of the times. The sense of lawlessness, of contempt for the police and petty indiscriminate violence and how Birmingham faced those challenges and overcame them. Birmingham historian Carl Chinn believes the name is actually a reference to the gang's sartorial elegance. He says the popular usage of "peaky" at the time referred to any flat cap with a peak. [2] "Blinder" was a familiar Birmingham slang term (still used today) to describe something or someone of dapper appearance. [5] A further explanation might be from the gang's own criminal behaviour; they were known to sneak up from behind, then pull the hat peak down over victims' faces so they could not describe who robbed them.
