The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse
by Louise Erdrich
format 135×235, oprawa broszurowa, stron 361, cena 39 zł |
For more
than a half century, Father Damien Modeste has served his beloved people,
the Ojibwe, on the remote reservation of Little No Horse. Now, nearing
the end of his life, Father Damien dreads the discovery of his physical
identity, for he is a woman who has lived as a man. To complicate his
fears, his quiet life changes when a troubled colleague comes to the
reservation to investigate the life of the perplexing, difficult, possibly
false saint Sister Leopolda. Father Damien alone knows the strange truth
of Sister Leopolda's piety and is faced with the most difficult decision
of his life: Should he reveal all he knows and risk everything? Or should
he manufacture a protective history though he believes Leopolda's wonder-working
is motivated by evil?

In the

much she would miss until it was gone.

Black Eagle Child
The Facepoint Narratives
by
Ray A Young Bear
format 140×210, oprawa broszurowa, stron 262, cena 34 zł
|
A classic
of Native American literature, Black Eagle Child uses a rich mix of
verse, prose narrative, and letters to tell Edgar Bearchild's journey
to adulthood, from his childhood delight in Jell-O to his induction
into the faith of his elders. Seamlessly mixing tribal memory and the
comic events of Bearchild's life, Young Bear's story excels at startling,
absurdist juxtapositions of the ancient and modern, expresses bemusement
and anger at the strange way of whites, and tells of the strength and
vision that comes from his Native tradition.
