With the naturalness and elegance that characterize him, Alistair MacLeod transports us to his homeland and his origins. Through his characters, reflective and emotional, he shows us the beauty of his geography, the family legends, the sanctity of work, and the natural cycles of life. These stories explore the masculine spirit, its strength and vulnerability, evoking the ancient Celtic heroes and connecting us with men who are part of our world.
Alistair MacLeod was a Canadian novelist, short story writer and academic. His powerful and moving stories vividly evoke the beauty of Cape Breton Island's rugged landscape and the resilient character of many of its inhabitants, the descendants of Scottish immigrants, who are haunted by ancestral memories and who struggle to reconcile the past and the present. MacLeod has been praised for his verbal precision, his lyric intensity and his use of simple, direct language that seems rooted in an oral tradition.
