Leinen. Condition: gut. Lizenzausgabe. Geprägter Ganzleineneinband mit farbigen Vorsätzen und fotografisch gestaltetem Schutzumschlag. Der Umschlag etwas berieben, nachgedunkelt und mit vier geklebten bzw. hinterlegten Randeinrissen, der Vorsatz mit kleinem Fleckchen, ansonsten guter Erhaltungszustand. "Erinnerungen an eine unbeschwerte Kindheit und Jugend auf einer Farm an der Peripherie der kanadischen Provinzstadt Jubilee: Das ist das Grundthema dieses Romans. Das Mädchen Del Jordan wächst in dieser ereignislosen, dahindämmernden Umwelt heran. Mit viel Witz und bisweilen sanfter Melancholie wird von den alltäglichen Dingen und Ereignissen berichtet, als seien sie etwas Außergewöhnliches: Da muß dem verschrobenen Onkel Benny beim Fischen geholfen und da müssen Frösche für ihn eingefangen werden. Die kleine Del kann ihn natürlich auch nicht im Stich lassen, wenn der einsiedlerische Junggeselle eine Haushälterin sucht, die dann zu aller Überraschung gleich als neuvermählte Ehefrau den Hausstand übernimmt. Als die Familie in die naheliegende Kleinstadt übersiedelt, tut sich für Del eine neue Welt auf, in der sie ihren Platz erst finden muß. Die ersten Phantasien und Erfahrungen über Sex werden mit den neugewonnenen Freundinnen ausgetauscht. Neue Konflikte, die aus dem ungewohnten städtischen Zusammenleben entstehen, und das Älterwerden schaffen Situationen, aus denen Del selbstbewußter hervorgeht: Ihr Weg wird sie wegführen von der muffigen Kleinstadt, hinaus in eine Welt, in der alles möglich und alle Wege offen zu sein scheinen." (Verlagstext) Alice Munro (geborene Alice Ann Laidlaw; * 10. Juli 1931 in Wingham, Ontario, Kanada) ist eine kanadische Schriftstellerin und Literaturnobelpreisträgerin, deren Werk mehr als 150 Kurzgeschichten umfasst. Alice Munro hat die Struktur von Kurzgeschichten revolutioniert. Die Geschichten, die sich durch sprachlichen Feinschliff auszeichnen, beginnen oft an einer unerwarteten Stelle, anschließend wird die Erzählung chronologisch rückwärts oder vorwärts entwickelt.

Audio Book (CD). Condition: new. From AudioFile Aspiring narrators and writers will be awed by the melodious symphony created by Judy Mahbey's interpretation of Munro's words. Mahbey's inflections, tones, and pacing harmonize beautifully with the unique imagery woven into the story of Del Jordan's adolescence. The narrator's pretty voice highlights the protagonist's struggles with religion, scholarship, and sex, and lends itself to characterization of Del's forward-thinking mother and more traditional best friend. Mahbey captures the genuine emotion wrapped up in a young girl's coming-of-age and is equally capable in moments of joy, despair, embarrassment, triumph, and confusion. It is difficult to imagine a better pairing of storyteller and reader. J.J.B. AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright AudioFile, Portland, Maine Product Description One of the most vivid portrayals of female adolescence in modern fiction, Lives of Girls and Women revealed Alice Munro to be a writer of exceptional skill and empathy. First published in 1971, Munros one and only novel traces one girls journey from childhood to womanhood. Narrated by Canadian actor Judy Mahbey, this audio edition, originally broadcast on CBC Radio, conveys the emotional resonance of this classic work by Canadas most celebrated practitioner of the short story. As a girl, Del Jordan lived on her fathers fox farm at the end of Flats Road with her rough younger brother and an eccentric bachelor family friend as companions. But as she grew up and started spending more time with the women in town, she explored the dark and bright sides of womanhood: sex, birth and death. Now an adult, and far away from the little Ontario town of Jubilee, Del Jordan wants to be a writer. Recalling the seemingly insignificant events that marked her awkward transition into the adult world, she relives her childish dreams of fame with acute self-awareness, suffers embarrassment at the hands of her encyclopedia-selling mother, endures the humiliation of her bodys insistent desires and desperately attempts to fall in love. Alice Munros prose combined with Judy Mahbeys narration results in a powerful, moving and humorous demonstration of an unparalleled awareness of the lives of girls and women. From the Back Cover Lives of Girls and Women is one of the most compelling portrayals of female adolescence in modern fiction. Born on the backward Flats Road, Del Jordan is a nice girl with big dreams in a small town that expects little from women beyond marriage and babies. In linked short stories, Del suffers embarrassment at the hands of her encyclopedia-selling mother, endures her bodys insistent desires, and falls passionately in love with a young lumberyard worker, only to lose her chance for a university scholarship. This classic recording, narrated by Judy Mahbey, captures the raw emotional power of Alice Munros first and only novel. About the Author Alice Munro is one of North Americas favourite writers of fiction. Indeed, Jonathan Franzen, writing in The New York Times, calls her the best fiction writer in North America. Shes three-time winner of the Governor Generals Award for Fiction.

Lives of Girls and Women, which was published in 1971, is a fictionalized coming-of-age work that is sometimes described as autobiographical. Munro is best known as a short story writer, whose work focuses on women's lives. Lives of Girls and Women consists of an episodic series of loosely linked short stories, all connected around the life of a young girl. Del Jordan, who is a child in the book's opening chapters, narrates a series of episodes from her life growing up in Jubilee, a small rural town in western Ontario.
