Fifth Business

Penguin Canada, 2005. Paperback. Pp: 257. Ramsay is a man twice born, a man who has returned from the hell of the battle-grave at Passchendaele in World War I decorated with the Victoria Cross and destined to be caught in a no man's land where memory, history, and myth collide. As Ramsay tells his story, it begins to seem that from boyhood, he has exerted a perhaps mystical, perhaps pernicious, influence on those around him. His apparently innocent involvement in such innocuous events as the throwing of a snowball or the teaching of card tricks to a small boy in the end prove neither innocent nor innocuous. Fifth Business stands alone as a remarkable story told by a rational man who discovers that the marvelous is only another aspect of the real. ISBN: 9780143051381. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Happy Alchemy

Viking, 1998. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 384. The "stunning verbal energy and intelligence" (The New York Times Book Review) of a beloved literary icon shine on in a new collection"Long may he continue to divert us", said The New York Times Book Review on its front page of Robertson Davies's national bestseller The Cunning Man. And even Davies's mourned death soon afterward, could not thwart that wish. For here, on the heels of his acclaimed posthumous work, The Merry Heart come another thirty-three pieces - most of them previously unpublished - that resonate with his vast erudition, warm wisdom, and rascally wit.In prose that evokes his own prescription for poetry - "every speech.as fully flavored as a nut or an apple" -he roves from Greek drama and eighteenth-century farce to contemporary set design, from the trouble with Hamlet as opera to the sheer delight of Lewis Carroll and "Dickens and Music". Davies disciples, theater buffs, and music lovers alike will find, in Happy Alchemy, a rare treat. ISBN: 9780670880195. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
