Descriere magazin:
A dazzling selection of stories--17 favorites picked by the author--are collected here in one volume for the first time. WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE(R) IN LITERATURE 2013
Carried Away is a dazzling selection of stories-seventeen favorites chosen by the author from across her distinguished career. With an
Introduction by
Margaret Atwood.
Alice Munro has been repeatedly hailed as one of our greatest living writers, a reputation that has been growing for years. The stories brought together here span a quarter century, drawn from some of her earliest books, The Beggar Maid and The Moons of Jupiter, through her recent best-selling collection, Runaway. Here are such favorites as Royal Beatings in which a young girl, her father, and stepmother release the tension of their circumstances in a ritual of punishment and reconciliation; Friend of My Youth in which a woman comes to understand that her difficult mother is not so very different from herself; and The Albanian Virgin, a romantic tale of capture and escape in Central Europe that may or may not be true but that nevertheless comforts the hearer, who is on a desperate adventure of her own.
Munro\'s incomparable empathy for her characters, the depth of her understanding of human nature, and the grace and surprise of her narrative add up to a richly layered and capacious fiction. Like the World War I soldier in the title story, whose letters from the front to a small-town librarian he doesn\'t know change her life forever,
Munro\'s unassuming characters insinuate themselves in our hearts and take permanent hold.
