Description

Semiautobiographical and universal in appeal, Street of Riches is about a young girl's growing up in a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Here is Christine, the perceptive narrator of The Road Past Altamont (also a Bison Book), awakening to natural and sometimes terrifying beauty, to family history, to the nuances of social life, to sexuality, to selfhood. A mother's romantic yearning for freedom, a father's roving career as an immigration officer, a beautiful sister's early demise, a host of other in very human situations—all contribute to the way Christine will view the world as a writer.
La montagne secrète

Boréal

Price: $16.72

Description

Gabrielle Roy — en s'inspirant de la vie du peintre René Richard, son ami et voisin de Charlevoix — relate la vie amoureuse d'un artiste du nom de Pierre Cadorai : ses années d'errance dans les paysages surhumains du Grand Nord canadien, son apprentissage, sa découverte de Paris et de la Provence, et surtout la recherche patiente du sens de son art et du sens de sa propre vie. L'existence de Pierre, sa soif de beauté et de plénitude forment ainsi une fable, non seulement de la condition de tout artiste, mais de celle de chacun d'entre nous. La Montagne secrète a été publié pour la première fois à Montréal en 1961 et à Paris l'année suivante. Sa traduction anglaise a paru à New York et à Toronto en 1962.

Description

Set against the austere landscape of northern Labrador, Windflower is the poignant story of Elsa Kumachuk, a young Inuit woman torn between two worlds by the birth of her blond-haired, blue-eyed son. Unacknowledged by his father, an American GI, the child is welcomed into the Inuit community with astonishment and delight. Elsa, however, must come to terms with the conflicting values implied by her son’s dual heritage.

Gabrielle Roy’s last novel, Windflower is both a moving account of one woman’s tragic dilemma and a sensitive portrait of a society in transition.
