In her lengthy and fascinating introduction Margaret Atwood says “Alice Munro is among the major writers of English fiction of our time. . . . Among writers themselves, her name is spoken in hushed tones.” This splendid gift edition is sure to delight Alice Munro’s growing body of admirers, what Atwood calls her “devoted international readership.” Long-time fans of her stories will enjoy meeting old favourites, where their new setting in this book may reveal new sides to what once seemed a familiar story; devoted followers may even dispute the exclusion of a specially-beloved story. Readers lucky enough to have found her recently will be delighted, as one masterpiece succeeds another. The 17 stories are carefully arranged in the order in which she wrote them, which allows us to follow the development of her range. “A Wilderness Station,” for example, breaks “short story rules” by taking us right back to the 1830s then jumping forward more than 100 years. “The Albanian Virgin” destroys the idea that her stories are set in B.C. or in Ontario’s “Alice Munro Country.” And “The Bear Came Over the Mountain,” the story behind the film Away From Her, takes us far from the world of young girls learning about sex into unflinching old age. This is a book to read slowly, savouring each story. It deserves a place in every Canadian book-lover’s library.

The Progress of Love book pdf download By Alice Munro

Alice Munro, who received the National Book Critics Circle Award for her latest collection of stories, The Love of a Good Woman, is widely acknowledged as a modern master of the short story. In this earlier collection, she demonstrates all of those strengths that have won her so many literary accolades. A divorced woman returns to her childhood home where she confronts the memory of her parents’ confounding yet deep bond. The accidental near-drowning of a child exposes the fragility of the trust between children and parents. A young man, remembering a terrifying childhood incident, wrestles with the responsibility he has always felt for his younger brother. In these and other stories Alice Munro proves once again a sensitive and compassionate chronicler of our times. Drawing us into the most intimate corners of ordinary lives, she reveals much about ourselves, our choices, and our experiences of love.

Family Furnishings book pdf download By Alice Munro

Family Furnishings brings us twenty-four of Alice Munro’s most accomplished, most powerfully affecting stories, many of them set in the territory she has so brilliantly made her own: the small towns and flatlands of southwestern Ontario. Subtly honed with her hallmark precision, grace, and compassion, these stories illuminate the quotidian yet extraordinary particularity in the lives of men and women, parents and children, friends and lovers as they discover sex, fall in love, part, quarrel, suffer defeat, set off into the unknown, or find a way to be in the world. Peopled with characters as real to us as we are to ourselves, Munro’s stories encompass the fullness of human experience—from the wild exhilaration of first love, in “Passion,” to the lengths a once-straying husband will go to make his wife happy as her memory fades, in “The Bear Came Over the Mountain.” Other stories suggest the punishing consequences of leaving home (“Runaway”) or leaving a marriage (“The Children Stay”). The part romantic love plays in one’s existence is explored in “Too Much Happiness,” based on the life of the noted nineteenth-century mathematician, Sophia Kovalevsky. And in stories that Munro has described as “closer to the truth than usual”—“Dear Life,” “Working for a Living,” and “Home” among them—we glimpse the author’s own life.

Il sogno di mia madre book pdf download By Alice Munro

“Ogni vita e ogni grande opera letteraria – sostiene Antonia Byatt contengono elementi del probabile e insieme fratture e disastri. L’interesse di Alice Munro è da sempre rivolto sia al tessuto della normalità sia al colpo di forbici che lo taglia di netto. In questi racconti continua a vedere e registrare la quotidianità terrestre. Ma sembra guardare oltre. Le vite umane amorosamente raccontate vanno e vengono a lampi, interrotte dal disastro. Sono storie di morti violente, di nascite altrettanto violente e di un solo, terrorizzante, commovente aborto descritto con precisione”. Un’autrice che possiede la sovrumana capacità di squarciare con la scrittura l’apparenza delle vite ordinarie, rivelandone i risvolti straordinari e oscuri.

Racconti book pdf download By Alice Munro

Alice Munro privilegia, pressoché esclusivamente, la forma del racconto e riserva un’attenzione particolare all’universo femminile. I suoi racconti sono ambientati nella realtà canadese moderna o descrivono vicende recuperate dalla memoria dei suoi personaggi. È importante, nella sua narrativa, la componente autobiografica. Il mondo descritto dalla Munro è, per lo più, quello di una piccola società gretta e arretrata, situata in una regione rurale dell’Ontario occidentale, con qualche incursione nelle più moderne e vivide realtà urbane di Vancouver o di Toronto. La scrittura si contraddistingue per affilata secchezza, assenza di retorica, raffinata tecnica dialogica che mette in evidenza una straordinaria empatia coi personaggi, nonché la capacità di descrivere in modo catturante e geniale i sentimenti e le esperienze più intime e segrete. Ciò che affascina l’autrice è la “complessità delle cose: niente è facile, niente è semplice”. E infatti il mondo che fa da sfondo alle sue storie è pieno di insidie e di minacce, talora crudele e violento: spesso i suoi racconti non descrivono le vicende di successo dei suoi personaggi, bensì le amarezze, i momenti di azione fatale, le fratture irrevocabili, le minime e inaspettate pieghe del dramma. Questa antologia propone cinquantacinque racconti dell’autrice.
