¿Por qué la ansiedad moderna? La ansiedad siempre ha estado con nosotros, pero ¿qué es la ansiedad en una sociedad tecnológica? Si nuestra tolerancia al estímulo sensorial es finita, ¿cuándo llegamos al punto de ruptura en nuestro mundo frenético con sus medios de comunicación de 24 horas, su ataque visual, su aspiración material incesante? Si la felicidad se encuentra con moderación, ¿qué será de nosotros en un mundo de extremos? Éstos son los hilos que recorren ésta colección, con una mirada ocasional a tiempos más inocentes. Emily Brontë forjó, posiblemente, la novela más apasionada de la literatura a partir de una vida cotidiana ascética inconcebible para la mayoría de nosotros, acostumbrados como estamos a la distracción. Tanto consciente como inconscientemente estamos siendo constantemente estimulados, seducidos y sedados por placeres fáciles de ganar, ¿acaso estamos perdiendo la capacidad de alcanzar esa felicidad profunda, la que esta debajo de la superficie, aquella de la que hablan los grandes sabios de la historia?¿Por qué la mujer moderna? Éstas piezas se centran en los alcances externos o extremos de la experiencia romántica: amor imposible, amor trágico, decepciones que nos marcan de por vida. ¿Son éstos temas "femeninos" o simplemente intentan describir la experiencia humana? Indudablemente vemos más material escrito por mujeres y sobre mujeres, pero después de milenios de silencio, donde la experiencia de la mujer fue casi completamente indocumentada y sin contexto, ¿sabemos siquiera qué es una mujer? Eclesiastés dice que no hay nada nuevo bajo el sol, pero quizás es posible dar una nueva perspectiva y es esto precisamente lo que más necesita este mundo psicológicamente abrumado.

As the boat set sail, in search of the mysterious Island, Maria gazed out into the water's horizon, lost in thought of what was sure to be an amazing adventure.A woman's journey into the deepest depths of her own Ocean."There are hidden secrets that lie deep within ourselves. How far are you willing to go to release them?"

An inspiring story set in the time of the Great Depression, Bewilderment: A Novel of the Great Depression follows the story of a coal delivery man, Gabriel "Gabe" Goodfellow, who wants to lighten the hearts of the people in homes he visits. Poverty is felt everywhere and people are hopeless. So, he thinks that there can be some joy and inspiration by arranging for the carnival to visit the town. His intentions are pure and altruistic, but then he has to deal with family problems. Things get complicated when manipulative and greedy local politicians get involved. Will Gabe achieve his goal and put smiles on the faces of his townsfolk or will his project be arrested before it even becomes a reality? The prose is sprinkled with succinct and vivid descriptions of the city and some of the elements that readers can easily visualize. While the story is set in the 1930s, it is filled with realism and humanity and today's readers can easily relate to its message and the characters. Bewilderment is hugely inspiring and entertaining. Gobi Jane for Readers' FavoriteDon Gutteridge was born in Sarnia and raised in the nearby village of Point Edward. He taught High School English for seven years, later becoming a Professor in the Faculty of Education at Western University, where he is now Professor Emeritus. He is the author of seventy-one books: poetry, fiction and scholarly works in educational theory and practice. He has published twenty-two novels, including the twelve-volume Marc Edwards mystery series, and thirty-nine books of poetry, one of which, Coppermine, was short-listed for the 1973 Governor-General's Award. In 1970 he won the UWO President's Medal for the best periodical poem of that year, "Death at Quebec."

When Don Gutteridge retired from academia in 1993, he intended to say my farewell by publishing a selection of the forty essays he had written over a long career. He gathered them together and gave them a title: The Myth Alive. However, other projects soon began competing for his time. He published two memoir novels in quick succession: Summer's Idyll (1993) and Winter's Descent (1995). Then as a last pedagogical hurrah, he wrote a small volume on teaching theory (Teaching English: 1999). Then it was back to novel writing with Bewilderment (2000) and finally fulltimework on the Marc Edwards mysteries (twelve titles). The Myth Alive was eventually forgotten. When he took it out for a belated look earlier this year, he found that the subject matter, though many years old, was still relevant today because it deals with questions of a literary/critical nature:how poems get made, the uses of history in literary works, the evolution of a Canadian mythology, the question of intention and so on. He trusts that they are as relevant today as when they were first written.

Arthur Wilbraham is lost - between love and hate, between his romantic vision of an earthly heaven and his descent into a very personal hell. Is it ever possible to forgive the unforgivable? Will he find his way? Can he earn his redemption? In the year 1876, Arthur Wilbraham, an idealistic young Christian, comes from South Australia to the Colony of Queensland, Australia, to join the Native Police Force. Under the infamous Lieutenant Frederick Wheeler, his education in the methods of this notorious police force begins.

In a wonderful follow up to Summer's Idyll, the book that first introduced his readers to protagonist "Billy" or "Junior," this second work, Winter's Descent continues this lovely story and will certainly keep readers enthralled from beginning to end. Following Billy and his life as he moves with his mother to the countryside of Ontario during the Second World War, the story is one that provides deeply personal historical detail that Gutteridge's fans have come to know and love. Billy is eleven now, and his father in fighting in the war. He attends a one-room schoolhouse, which serves as the main setting for this novel. With twenty-six students and an impressive teacher, Miss Neilson, the life of this boy and his friends from school S.S. No. 9 is one that any young reader, or any reader looking for a book that will lend them a great deal of nostalgia, will simply love! Author Don Gutteridge has again provided a story in which the reader will truly feel as if they have been picked up and placed in Ontario in 1945, no detailed is the work. For those who love a realistic and highly informative work of in a historical setting, this book is simply amazing. Tracey A.

On November 3, 2020, I had emergency heart surgery. As part of the healing process, I unwittingly intensified my writing poetry in gratitude to those who saved my life and supported me in the harrowing days which followed. In the hospital, I was deeply moved by the constant kindness of the healthcare professionals and my family members who helped me back to life. I saw in them a "kindness response" to life which I always knew existed but now appreciated as the core value of what it means to be a human being. This slim book mostly includes poems written in the wake of my brush with death at the age of 66, events of the last two years and a few pieces reflecting on previous experiences. I hope it adequately expresses my gratitude to those who took care of me in my hour of need and helps others see the need for kindness in everything we do in the hospital, on the street, and at home.
