Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of several short stories, articles and poems by the author. The author, a Canadian of his time, writes about the experiences, dreams, hopes and fears of a diverse list of characters. We encounter beggars, aristocrats, day labourers, the working class, the elite, and more, with their own unique struggles and dreams. A working class hero prays for the strength to continue, while an affected aristocrat attempts to appear above the vicissitudes of life. A humble farmer reflects on his life and losses as he stands on the edge of his vast fields, while a young man seeks to conquer the ominous Niagara Falls. The author presents the reader with vivid snapshots of various lives during Canada's transition from colony to autonomous nation. The author's experiences contributing to the building of Canada and his observations of the people around him give the work an authentic and charming voice as we explore the human experience within the emerging nation.
