Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 Alice Munro mines her rich family background, melding it with her own experiences and the transforming power of her brilliant imagination, to create perhaps her most powerful and personal collection yet. A young boy, taken to Edinburgh’s Castle Rock to look across the sea to America, catches a glimpse of his father’s dream. Scottish immigrants experience love and loss on a journey that leads them to rural Ontario. Wives, mothers, fathers, and children move through uncertainty, ambivalence, and contemplation in these stories of hopes, adversity, and wonder. The View from Castle Rock reveals what is most essential in Munro’s art: her compassionate understanding of ordinary lives.
Download or read book Alice Munro s Late Style written by Robert Thacker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on Alice Munro's last three collections, this book examines the differences between these volumes and the rest of her work to analyse the emergence and the difference of her 'late style'. Alice Munro has effectively reshaped the short story as a form. This book focuses on Munro's art of recursion - an approach that has been evident throughout her career but came to the fore in her last three books, The View from Castle Rock (2006), Too Much Happiness (2009) and, especially, Dear Life (2012). This recursion and return manifest themselves not only in Munro's return to previously published pieces, but also to her discovery and meditations on her Scottish heritage, which can be read as entrance to her own understanding of herself and her life. Its provenance, displayed through archival evidence, is complex yet reveals a writer intent on a precise late style. Munro's final works serve as a coda to both her late style and to her entire career as arguably one of the finest short story writers ever to put pen to paper.

Download or read book God s Dawning Light Spiritual Awakening in a Dusty Old Farmhouse written by Larry V. Murphy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-05-31 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a man's late life journey to Spiritual Awakeness and Unwavering Forgiveness. In fact, forgiveness changed the book's unfolding during the writing of it. The author began the book's writing with the desire to review a memory troubled life in a way that some degree of peace could be found within it. Forgiveness absolutely began to take over the book very early; forgiveness became the way of seeing the life rather than an end result. The author learned that forgiveness is not only cleansing and healing in retrospective, it completely changes the way we look at things. For the author, a lifetime previously perceived largely in ugliness was transformed into beauty. Prior unsavory scenes took their true places within auras of ignorance; eyes of forgiveness exposed ignorance as the true culprit in all unhappiness. Thus, things previously seen in contempt and blame became innocent of all charges. The author found total, Unwavering Forgiveness and Universal Love, gateways to God Consciousness.

Download or read book Sir Thomas Malory s Morte Darthur written by Sir Thomas Malory and published by Parlor Press LLC. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorsey Armstrong provides a new, Modern English translation of the MORTE DARTHUR that portrays the holistic and comprehensive unity of the text as a whole, as suggested by the structure of Caxton’s print, but that is based primarily on the Winchester Manuscript, which offers the most complete and accurate version of Malory’s narrative. This translation makes one of the most compelling and important texts in the Arthurian tradition easily accessible to everyone—from high school students to Arthurian scholars. In addition to the complete text, Armstrong includes an introduction that discusses Malory’s sources and the long-running debate surrounding the manuscript and print versions of the narrative. For ease of use, the text is keyed to both William Caxton’s print version and the manuscript version edited by Eugène Vinaver. A detailed index is also included.

For almost thirty years Robert Thacker has been researching this book, steeping himself in Alice Munro’s life and work, working with her co-operation to make it complete. The result is a feast of information for Alice Munro’s admirers everywhere. By following “the parallel tracks” of Alice Munro’s life and Alice Munro’s texts, he gives a thorough and revealing account of both her life and work. “There is always a starting point in reality,” she once said of her stories, and this book reveals just how often her stories spring from her life. The book is chronological, starting with her pioneer ancestors, but with special attention paid to her parents and to her early days growing up poor in Wingham. Then all of her life stages—the marriage to Jim Munro, the move to Vancouver, then to Victoria to start the bookstore, the three daughters, the divorce, the return to Huron County, and the new life with Gerry Fremlin—leading to the triumphs as, story by story, book by book, she gains fame around the world, until rumours of a Nobel Prize circulate . . .
