Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition Signed
Softcover. Condition: Fine. First. John Gordon "Jack" McClelland CC (1922 2004) was a Canadian publisher. He was known for promoting Canadian writers as president of the McClelland and Stewart publishing house. Hebegan working for McClelland and Stewart, his father's company, in 1946, becoming president in 1961. Under his control, the company promoted Canadian literature and encouraged Canadian authors such as Margaret Atwood, Pierre Berton, Leonard Cohen, Marian Engel, Farley Mowat and Mordecai Richler. He introduced a popular series of Canadian authors in paperback, making Canadian writing more accessible to the general public. "I decided that I didn't want to be dependent on foreign agencies," he would recall. "I saw that a logical decision in London or New York could cut our volume in half. A Canadian nationalist was born overnight." This copy is fine in color, photo-illustrated wrappers. A single name "Maynard" in ink on the half title page. No other marks or damage at all.Inscribed by McClelland on the title page.

The Achievement of Josef Skvorecky
Language: English

ISBN 10: 0802069479 ISBN 13: 9780802069474
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. The noted scholar and critic George Steiner has called the Czech-Canadian author Josef Skvorecky 'one of the major literary figures of our time,' yet to date few books on him and his writing have appeared in English. The Achievement of Josef Skvorecky is the first collection of essays in any language to be devoted to his work. Skvorecky was born in 1924, and his life spans most of the major historical events of twentieth-century Europe. An exile who left Prague after the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact invasion of 1968, he is among those distinguished writers and artists who produced much of their major work in exile. From this first book, The Cowards (1958), his novels have offered an indispensable fictional account of nearly a century of Czech life and history. Though Skvorecky is essentially a comic and anti-political writer, his novels engage some of the largest and most pressing political, historical, and ideological issues of the century: fascism, communism, the nature of totalitarianism, the fate of religion. Skvorecky is that rare being, a creative writer who is also a teacher, a man of letters, and an intellectual. Sam Solecki has collected and commissioned essays from around the world that provide an overview of Skvorecky's work, place him in a larger cultural and international context, and offer readings of his fiction. Among the contributors are such well-known writers and scholars as Milan Kundera, Jan Kott, George Woodcock, Andre Brink, George Gibian, Igor Hajek, and Stanislaw Baranczak.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. **Bundle Up & Save On Postage** Remainder Mark Bottom Edge, otherwise a very nice soft cover copy with French flaps, without flaw. 6 X 9" 300 pages. From the publication of Gabrielle Roy's Tin Flute in 1947 to Michael Ondatje's Running in the Family in 1984, Jack McClelland presided over the creation of the Canadian canon, and his letters are the most revealing evidence of his influence. Whether counseling Margaret Laurence on the title for The Stone Angel or defending his firms' decision to publish Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers, the letters reveal a thoughtful and insightful editorial mind.
