Janet Lunn

    28. december 1928 – 26. jún 2017

    Táto autorka, oddaná snílek, sa už od detstva ponára do sveta fantázie. Jej spisovateľská dráha je hlboko prepojená s jej snami a predstavami, ktoré ju sprevádzali od raného detstva. Spomienky na staré farmy a krajinu, kde vyrastala, sa prelínajú v jej dielach, kde často skúma životy minulých obyvateľov týchto miest. Jej písanie je poznamenané hlbokou láskou ku krajine a jej tichým príbehom.

      From the epic journeys into the unknown by the first people who crossed the Bering land bridge thousands of years ago to Roberta Bondar's landmark voyage into space, The Story of Canada is as vast in scope as the country itself. Authors Janet Lunn and Christopher Moore tell the country's story through rich narrative, recreations of daily life, folk tales, and fascinating facts. The book is splendidly illustrated with original paintings by Alan Daniel, as well as hundreds of historical photographs, maps, paintings, posters, and cartoons. And this updated edition takes Canada's story right up to the present day, with new material on the Charlottetown Accord, the resurgence of Quebec separatism, and Canadian peacekeeping efforts in the former Yugoslavia. The result is a highly readable history that is as beautiful as it is informative, an essential reference for every Canadian family.
