- Zusatztext
- <p>Voyageur Classics is a series of special versions of Canadian classics, with added material and new introductory notes. In this bundle we find five biographical and autobiographical titles that shed light on some of Canadas most important figures at crucial times in the countrys development. William Kilbourn brings to life the rebel Canadian hero William Lyon Mackenzie: able political editor, first mayor of Toronto, and the gadfly of the House of Assembly.<i>The Scalpel, the Sword</i> celebrates the turbulent career of Dr. Norman Bethune, a brilliant surgeon, campaigner for socialized medicine, and communist. Elizabeth Simcoes diary, describing Canada from 1791 to 1796, is history written as it was being made, an account instilled with excitement and delight. And finally, two titles by the legendary Grey Owl tell his own astonishing story and advocate for a closeness with and respect for nature. Each of these books is an essential classic of Canadian literature.</p><p><b>Includes</b></p><ul><li><i>The Firebrand</i></li><li><i>Mrs. Simcoes Diary</i></li><li><i>The Scalpel, the Sword</i></li><li><i>The Men of the Last Frontier</i></li><li><i>Pilgrims of the Wild</i></li></ul>
