Condition: Gut. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 349 (3) Seiten. 21,9 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Massimo Peter-Bille. Guter Zustand. Schutzumschlag mit Randläsuren. Der elfjährige Evered und seine zwei Jahre jüngere Schwester Ada wachsen unter kargen Bedingungen auf. Sie sind Kinder von Fischern, die um 1800 allein inmitten der kanadischen Wildnis leben. Als ihre Eltern sterben, sind die Geschwister auf sich gestellt; sie wissen nur das von der Welt, was sie von Mutter und Vater gelernt haben. Also führen sie deren hartes Leben nach Kräften weiter. Bis die Loyalität der Geschwister auf die Probe gestellt wird und sie für ihre Zukunft kämpfen müssen. - Michael Crummey (* 18. November 1965 in Buchans, Neufundland, Kanada) ist ein kanadischer Dichter und Schriftsteller. Er schreibt in Englisch und hat mehrere Gedichtbände und Romane verfasst, die in Neufundland und Labrador spielen. Sie handeln vom Kampf der Bewohner mit den Elementen, von Verlusten und der Veränderung von Umwelt und Arbeitswelt. Leben und Werk: Michael Crummey wuchs in der Bergarbeitersiedlung Buchans auf Neufundland und in Wabush in Labrador auf. Er absolvierte das Bachelorstudium in Englisch an der Memorial University of Newfoundland und den Master an der Queen s University. Eine Promotion brach er ab und arbeitete in einer Reihe von Ländern, bevor er nach Neufundland zurückkehrte um zu schreiben. Crummey hat als Writer in Residence gedient und an vielen Institutionen im ganzen Land kreatives Schreiben unterrichtet. Crummeys erste Erfolge als Berufsautor stellten sich 1994 ein, als er den erstmals vergebenen Bronwen Wallace Award für seine Gedichte erhielt, die in mehreren Anthologien erschienen waren. Zudem kam seine erste veröffentlichte Kurzgeschichte auf den zweiten Platz beim Wettbewerb von Prism International. Für Arguments with Gravity, seine erste Gedichtsammlung, wurde Crummey 1996 ausgezeichnet, für die Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten Flesh and Blood zwei Jahre später. Helden sind dort die Bewohner der kleinen Bergbaustadt Black Rock, die als Buchans zu erkennen ist. Bekannt wurde Crummey 2001 mit seinem Romandebut River Thieves. Er behandelt die Ereignisse um die Gefangennahme von Demasduit, der letzten Beothuk. Das Werk wurde mit drei Preisen ausgezeichnet und für weitere nominiert, darunter den Commonwealth Writers Prize, den International Dublin Literary Award und den Giller Prize. Crummeys dritter Roman Galore fand 2009 ebenfalls großen Beifall in In- und Ausland. Nominiert wurde dieser wiederum in Dublin und für den Governor General s Award for Fiction. Er umfasst die 200-jährige Geschichte eines Hafens, den Streit verfeindeter Familien und den Niedergang der Kabeljaufischerei. Mit dem Fotojournalisten Greg Locke veröffentlichte Crummey 2004 Newfoundland. Journey Into a Lost Nation. In Prosa und Bildern wird der Zusammenbruch der Fischerei aufgezeichnet und der Überlebenswillen der Menschen dargestellt. Thema des zweiten Romans The Wreckage ist eine Liebesgeschichte rund um die Beteiligung der Neufundländer am Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die Handlungsorte spannen sich von den Häfen der Insel bis zu den Kriegsgefangenenlagern in Südostasien. Seine Bücher wurden auch ins Deutsche, Französische und Polnische übersetzt. Für sein Gesamtwerk wurde Michael Crummey 2007 mit dem Timothy Findley Award des Writers Trust of Canada ausgezeichnet. Er lebt mit seiner Familie in St. John s, Neufundland. . . .

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Finalist for the 2021 BC and Yukon Book Prizes' Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize Finalist for the 2021 City of Victoria Butler Book Prize"Meticulously researched and vividly drawn, Orphans of Empire brings to life the half-forgotten world of early British Columbia. This is an immersive, shimmering novel." --Steven Price, author of #1 nationally bestselling By Gaslight and Giller-shortlisted LampedusaIn Grant Buday's new novel, three captivating stories intertwine at the site of the New Brighton Hotel on the shores of Burrard Inlet. In 1858 the serious and devoted Sir Richard Clement Moody receives the commission of a lifetime when he is sent to help establish "a second England"--what is now British Columbia. In 1865 Frisadie, an eighteen-year-old Kanaka housemaid, who is more entrepreneur than ingenue, arrives in New Brighton from Hawaii. She convinces Maxie Michaud to purchase the hotel with her, and it soon becomes the toast of the inlet. In 1885 Henry Fannin, a young, curious embalmer and magnetism devotee, having struck out in London and San Francisco, arrives in New Brighton and promptly falls in love with a tragic woman he hears crying on his first night at the hotel.Endearing, funny, and highly evocative of time and place, Orphans of Empire celebrates those living in the shadow of history's supposed heroes, their private struggles and personal agendas. Readers who loved Michael Crummey's Galore and Eowyn Ivey's To the Bright Edge of the World, will love this vivid novel of arrivals that prods at the ethics of settlement.
