Описание: Vivid stories from a Canadian literary icon, who shares a life spread across continents and immersed in books. Its the life that many dream of: education in some of Europes most beautiful cities before becoming a novelist, essayist, translator and literary curator. But the start of Linda Leiths journey is anything but idyllic. The daughter of a glamorous mother and a charming left-wing doctor, she is never told of her fathers psychiatric breakdown or his subsequent shock therapy for what was then called manic depression. As this secret festers, Leiths father uproots the family to various European cities as he reinvents himself as a corporate executive, eventually moving across the Atlantic to Montreal. Its there, in her first year of university, that Leith is inspired by Madame de Stael: a writer and salonniere, banished from Paris by Napoleon himself. With none of Staels advantages—no wealth, no social status, no chateau on Lake Geneva—Leith can scarcely imagine a salon, but she is drawn to Paris, and dreams of becoming a writer. This dream fuels her education in London, her marriage and writing in Budapest, and—finally—her journey back to Montreal where she meets a community of writers and readers who she works with to transform the citys literary scene. As Leith publishes, translates, and curates, she also comes to terms with her troubled father and the secrets of her childhood. A luscious read, this book will rivet readers of Jill Ker Conways The Road from Coorain and Tara Westovers Educated , or anyone who has dreamed of building a cultural life.
War in any fashion is insanity, it is hell on earth. And the story never changes, it is always started by old men thousands of miles away from any harm or killing action themselves, as they sit around a big conference table sticking pins in maps of the world figuring out where to start the next war. Drinking champagne, eating the best foods and waiting for the dancing girls to come on in and entertain them, all puffed up with visions of grandeur on how history will remember their great leadership value, while young men go off to fight and die to appease their never-ending gluttony for shedding the blood of others.
