Download or read book Street of Riches written by Gabrielle Roy and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 others in very human situations - all contribute to the way Christine will view the world as a writer. Gabrielle Roy has been called the Canadian Willa Cather because of their affinity in style and theme. Street of Riches won both the Governor-General's Award for Fiction and the French Prix Duvernay.

Book excerpt: This illustrated biography highlights three pivotal phases in Gabrielle Roy's life and development as an author: her first twenty-seven years, which were spent growing up with her family in Manitoba; her two-year stay in France and England, in the late 1930s; and her return from Europe to live in Montreal. It was in this last period that Roy honed her craft and, through her travels across the country, learned about the Canada she came to describe in ways that altered the course of Canadian literature.

Download or read book The Road Past Altamont written by Gabrielle Roy and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in French in 1966, The Road Past Altamont pierces to the heart of a child's world, craeting a delicate, yet substantial network of impressions, emotions, and relationships. In her writing, Gabrielle Roy allowed "nothing extraneous or false to stand," according to the translator, Joyce Marshall. The literary style of Roy, whose fiction reflects her childhood on the Canadian prairie, has often been compared to that of Willa Cather.øThe Road Past Altamont takes a sensitive French-Canadian girl, Christine, from childhood innocence to maturity. Four connected stories reveal profound moments during her early years in the vastness of Manitoba. Christine's testament to Grandmother's creative power, her great adventure with an old gentleman at Lake Winnipeg and her clandestine one with a crude family of movers, her journey through time and space with aging Maman?all these characters and events convey Gabrielle Roy's preoccupation with childhood and old age, the passage of time and mystery of change, and the artist's relation to the world.

Book excerpt: In Alexandre Chenevert, the Montreal bank teller trapped by his narrow environment and acutely aware of his loneliness, Gabrielle Roy has created a vivid and poignant portrait of an ordinary man and his attempts to transcend his circumstances and his fate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers are often surprised to learn that black writing in Canada is over two centuries old. Ranging from letters, editorials, sermons, and slave narratives to contemporary novels, plays, poetry, and non-fiction, black Canadian writing represents a rich body of literary and cultural achievement. The Black Atlantic Reconsidered is the first comprehensive work to explore black Canadian literature from its beginnings to the present in the broader context of the black Atlantic world. Winfried Siemerling traces the evolution of black Canadian witnessing and writing from slave testimony in New France and the 1783 "Book of Negroes" through the work of contemporary black Canadian writers including George Elliott Clarke, Austin Clarke, Dionne Brand, David Chariandy, Wayde Compton, Esi Edugyan, Marlene NourbeSe Philip, and Lawrence Hill. Arguing that black writing in Canada is deeply imbricated in a historic transnational network, Siemerling explores the powerful presence of black Canadian history, slavery, and the Underground Railroad, and the black diaspora in the work of these authors. Individual chapters examine the literature that has emerged from Quebec, Nova Scotia, the Prairies, and British Columbia, with attention to writing in both English and French. A major survey of black writing and cultural production, The Black Atlantic Reconsidered brings into focus important works that shed light not only on Canada's literature and history, but on the transatlantic black diaspora and modernity.

Book excerpt: Few writers portray the dignity of people trapped by poverty or emotional isolation as compassionately as Gabrielle Roy does in the four stories of western Canada that comprise Garden in the Wind. The effortless craft and poetic sensitivity evident in all her writing are here in full abundance as she recounts the stories of a tramp who belongs to no one, a Chinese immigrant struggling to fulfill his dream, Doukhobor settlers fired by a vision of a new land, and a lonely woman who nurtures her small but splendid garden. Imbued with a poignant simplicity, these are stories of sheer artistry.

Download or read book Myth and Morality in "Alexandre Chenevert" by Gabrielle Roy written by Paul Socken and published by Frankfurt am Main : P. Lang. This book was released on 1987 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to present two different but complementary readings of the novel and to offer the reader some sources and origins for what was later to develop into the novel. Chapter One, «Mythic Dimensions», presents a «vertical» approach, in that it examines Alexandre's revelation, his encounter with a divine presence and a transcendent reality. Chapter Two of this volume, «Morality», is an analysis of the text from a humanist viewpoint, primarily taking into account Alexandre's relationship with his fellow man, what might be termed a «horizontal» study. The novel sustains both levels of interpretation, and others, and proves in the process that it is perhaps Gabrielle Roy's most profound work.
