A Passion in Winter is a historical novel that evokes a pivotal year in Canada's history (1759) that forever changed the city of Quebec and its people. During the Seven Years War (1756 - 1763) the scales tipped between the two empires, France and England. British balance-of-power was to keep France from controlling Europe. North America became the chief concern of these two great powers. In the battle for Canada, France lost. After the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, the British army occupied the City of Quebec. General James Murray with some of his officers, the Fraser Highlanders, took over a wing of the Ursuline Convent for his headquarters. Conquerors and the conquered had to survive that bitter winter of 1759-1760. A tender love story develops between a novice nun and a Fraser Highlander. A Passion in Winter mourns loss of country, as well as political and private loves in life's brevity, but it also celebrates determination of a people to survive.
A PASSION FOR POETRY Why poetry? Why has this ancient craft existed throughout time, continuing even into our fast-paced age of moderncy and technology? Perhaps two reasons: 1) The human condition still demands we ask who we are, what we are and why we are; and 2) space is limited in this form of writing requiring the poet reduce his thoughts into a quick-read format. Puns, pundits, quotes, poetry and prose capsulate 90% of everything the human race believes to be important and true Poets are avatars who define the nature and meaning of our roles. They reduce the fabric of our existence to the simplest ingredients of mind, soul, bones, sinew and desire. It is the forum that speaks to all, reaches all, touches all, teaches all, questions all, answers all.
If you are coping with loss, experiencing confusion and doubt, or simply feeling overwhelmed, these beautifully formed devotions will ignite the hope that God is with you in even the winter seasons of life. Winter is a time of waiting, a time of questioning. Yet a promise lies buried beneath the snow--a seed waiting to spring to life. These brief meditations will touch the hidden places of your heart, comfort your spirit, and renew your strength through the open invitation to deeper reflection and more attentive listening to God's still small voice. Author Ken Gire illustrates how God is with you yesterday, today, and forever.

"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart) The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged. Each volume features: * Authoritative, reliable texts * High quality introductions and notes * New, more readable trade trim size * An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts
This 1982 book examines The Winter's Tale in performance from Jacobean England to the twentieth century.
