Sinossi

WINNER OF THE 2025 INDIGENOUS VOICES AWARD 
CBC BOOKS 'CANADIAN POETRY COLLECTIONS TO WATCH FOR IN 2024' 
CBC BOOKS 'BOOKS TO READ IN HONOUR OF THE NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION'The Sky Woman has returned to bring down the patriarchy!This book is about a poet who may or may not be going crazy, who is just trying to survive in Winnipeg, where Indigenous people, especially women, are being disappeared. She is talking to a crow who may or may not be a trickster, and who brings a very important message: Sky Woman has returned, and she is ready to take down the patriarchy.  This is poetry, prose and dialogue about the rise and return of the matriarch. It’s a call to resistance, a manifesto to the female self. Cree poet and broadcaster Rosanna Deerchild is an important voice for our time. Her poems – angry, funny, sad – demand a new world for Indigenous women.

Giant

Mark Rosenblatt

'I wanted to put you bang in the picture. Apprise you of the difficulties. Because, in case you hadn't noticed, he's a human fucking boobytrap. And now, guess what, surprise surprise, boom!'
A world-famous children's author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And a chance to make amends…
It's the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won't die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.
Inspired by real events, Mark Rosenblatt's debut play Giant offers a nuanced portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon – and explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.
The play was first performed to great acclaim at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Nicholas Hytner with a cast including John Lithgow as Dahl. It transferred to the West End the following year, and won the Olivier and Critics' Circle Awards for Best New Play. Mark Rosenblatt won Best Creative West End Debut at the Stage Debut Awards in 2025.

The Complete Novels of Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy

"All, Everything That I Understand, I Understand Only Because I Love."

Leo Tolstoy stands as a giant of the literary world, a writer whose work is so vast and deeply human that it feels like life itself. Known for his ability to capture the grand movements of history alongside the most intimate flickers of the human heart, Tolstoy's novels are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of society, faith, and the soul. This comprehensive collection spans his entire novelistic career, from his early semi-autobiographical reflections to his massive historical epics and later spiritual awakenings.

The Architect of the Human Soul: Tolstoy's genius lay in his "psychological realism"—the ability to portray characters with such depth and nuance that they transcend the page. His work explores the tension between the individual and the state, the search for meaning in a world of suffering, and the transformative power of love and simplicity. Whether he is documenting the Napoleonic Wars or the tragic constraints of aristocratic marriage, Tolstoy's prose remains a masterclass in observation and empathy.

Tolstoy's influence on the world extends far beyond literature, impacting the thoughts of figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. This volume is the definitive cornerstone for any library of world classics, historical fiction, and philosophical literature.

Experience the full breadth of a master. Buy "The Complete Novels of Leo Tolstoy" today and journey through the heart of the human experience.

Poetry - by James Joyce

James Joyce

The father of Ulysses, The Dublineers, and Finnegan's Wake (James Joyce) was also an avidly prolific poet. As of recently, most of his poems entered the public domain, so let us continue with this season's overarching theme of reading early twentieth century Irish Literature, and do a deep dive on the poems of one of Ireland's greatest literary giants--poems of love, life, happiness, sorrow, and rebuttal... but most of all, love.
