About the Book

A través de estos relatos Alice Munro demuestra que la ficción tiene mucho que decir acerca de la vida Considerada la obra más personal de la autora por haberse inspirado en su propia familia, Munro logra fundir a través de estos relatos los hechos y las leyendas que forman su legado familiar. Ofrece una versión ambivalente y con matices ficticios de su propio pasado: desde sus ancestros de Castle Rock en el siglo XVIII hasta la ambición frustrada de sus padres en el Canadá de los cincuenta. Desde la experiencia de unos inmigrantes escoceses, quienes no tardan en descubrir que la vida en la tierra soñada no será la de un cuento de hadas, hasta el día a día de la rural Ontario, La vista desde Castle Rock nos habla de esperanza, adversidades e incertidumbres.

La crítica ha dicho...
«Una obra rara y fascinante en la que el pasado solo tiene sentido en relación al presente, y el presente solo tiene sentido enrelación al pasado.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Alice Munro mines her rich family background, melding it with her own experiences and the transforming power of her brilliant imagination, to create perhaps her most powerful and personal collection yet.
A young boy, taken to Edinburgh's Castle Rock to look across the sea to America, catches a glimpse of his father's dream. Scottish immigrants experience love and loss on a journey that leads them to rural Ontario. Wives, mothers, fathers, and children move through uncertainty, ambivalence, and contemplation in these stories of hopes, adversity, and wonder. The View from Castle Rock reveals what is most essential in Munro's art: her compassionate understanding of ordinary lives.
