Alice Munro’s Best Selected Stories


Free Download Alice Munro’s Best: Selected Stories By Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood
2008 | 536 Pages | ISBN: 0771065205 | EPUB | 7 MB
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.

In the 1980s and 90s, amid an explosion in international money flows, a handful of people saw a new financial future and staked claims in it, triggering a battle to control the world’s money markets.

Alice Paul Equality for Women

English | 2012 | ISBN: 0813347610, 0367097737 | EPUB | pages: 218 | 0.3 mb
Alice Paul: Equality for Women shows the dominant and unwavering role Paul played in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, granting the vote to American women. The dramatic details of Paul’s imprisonment and solitary confinement, hunger strike, and force-feeding at the hands of the U.S. government illustrate her fierce devotion to the cause she spent her life promoting. Placed in the context of the first half of the twentieth century, Paul’s story also touches on issues of progressivism and labor reform, race and class, World War I patriotism and America’s emerging role as a global power, women’s activism in the political sphere, and the global struggle for women’s rights.

About Alice


Free Download Calvin Trillin, "About Alice"
English | 2006 | pages: 78 | ISBN: 1400066158, 0739485741 | EPUB | 0,3 mb
In Calvin Trillin’s antic tales of family life, she was portrayed as the wife who had "a weird predilection for limiting our family to three meals a day" and the mother who thought that if you didn’t go to every performance of your child’s school play, "the county would come and take the child." Now, five years after her death, her husband offers this loving portrait of Alice Trillin off the page-his loving portrait of Alice Trillin off the page-an educator who was equally at home teaching at a university or a drug treatment center, a gifted writer, a stunningly beautiful and thoroughly engaged woman who, in the words of a friend, "managed to navigate the tricky waters between living a life you could be proud of and still delighting in the many things there are to take pleasure in."
