This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'She is undoubtedly one of the greatest American writers' OBSERVER

'Willa Cather makes a world which is burningly alive, sometimes lovely, often tragic' HELEN DUNMORE

'Her prose has a supple, lit-up sensuality that constantly makes the reader stop and read again as in a fine piece of poetry' MARINA WARNER

At the end of the seventeenth century in Quebec, a French family, the Auclairs, begin a life very different from the one they knew in Paris. On her mother's death, ten-year-old Cecile is entrusted with the care of the household and of her father, Euclid, the town's apothecary.

Two years later, in 1697, Cecile and her father prepare for the long, difficult winter ahead with no word from home. The news of the world they have left behind must wait until spring, when the annual boats from France are able to make their way up the St Lawrence. For her father, it will be a painful exile, but for the young Cecile life holds innumerable joys as old ties are relinquished and new ones are formed . . .

Recenzii

Her prose has a supple, lit-up sensuality that constantly makes the reader stop and read again as in a fine piece of poetry
Shadows on the Rock is not a plot-driven novel: it can be best described as an encyclopedia of characters such as is seldom found in literature
She is undoubtedly one of the greatest American writers
Willa Cather makes a world which is burningly alive, sometimes lovely, often tragic
