The Big Tide
When someone as rich and powerful as Eric Sumners launches onto a new direction, the decision soon takes on a life of its own ... creating unexpected opportunities not only for himself but for anyone involved. One fateful morning, Sumners is inspired to undertake something of outrageous extravagance for his wife, setting off like dominoes a chain of events and windfalls only the wildest ambitions could have fervently hoped for or imagined ... or feared.
Les Belles Étrangères
While translation history in Canada is well documented, the history of the translation of Canadian fiction outside the nation remains obscure. Les Belles Étrangères examines the translation of Canadian English-language fiction in France. This book considers the history of this practice, the reasons for the move away from Quebec translators as well as the process and perils involved in this detour. Within a theoretical framework and drawing on primary sources, this study considers the historical, theoretical, and concrete aspects of this practice through the study of the translations of authors such as Robertson Davies, Carol Shields, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Ann-Marie MacDonald, and Alistair MacLeod. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography of English-language novels, poetry, and plays published and translated in France over the past 240 years.
14 Days In July
"1 July 1789, Paris, two weeks before the Revolution. France is undergoing a political upheaval unlike anything it has known before.

September 1654, Burgundy, 135 years before the Revolution. A good-natured young man, an orphan, is mysteriously imprisoned with grotesque instructions to conceal his identity in such as way as to ensure he is to be forgotten for all time"--Amazon.com.

Raymond Carver
"Perhaps the most significant and influential figure in this century's wave of American realism, Raymond Carver (1938-1988) is credited not only with reviving the short story as an artistically legitimate form, but also with perfecting minimalist fiction. His 1981 collection, What We Talk about When We Talk about Love, remains the standard against which minimalist literature is measured, and his numerous prize-winning and frequently anthologized stories have established him as the extender of a modernist tradition stretching from Chekhov through Joyce and Hemingway. In his later collections, such as Cathedral (1983) and Where I'm Calling From (1988), Carver surpasses even his own great achie...
