This volume brings together the best of Munro's stories, from 1968 through to 1994. The second selected volume of her stories, 1995-2009 is also published by Vintage Classics.

Alice Munro, uznávaná kanadská autorka, mistrně zachycuje složitost lidských vztahů prostřednictvím všedního života. Její povídky, v nichž často zkoumá hloubku každodenních zážitků, jí vysloužily přezdívku "kanadská Čechovová". Munro se ve své tvorbě soustředí na jemné nuance mezilidských interakcí a odhaluje jejich univerzální rezonanci. Její literární přínos spočívá ve schopnosti proměnit zdánlivě obyčejné okamžiky v hluboce působivé příběhy, které prověřují lidskou zkušenost.

** Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature ** 'Munro is still one of our most fearless explorers of the human being, as she descends, time and again, headlamp on full beam, pickaxe and butter-knife at the ready' The Times Spanning her last five collections and bringing together her finest work from the past fifteen years, this new selection of Alice Munro's stories infuses everyday lives with a wealth of nuance and insight. Beautifully observed and remarkably crafted, written with emotion and empathy, these stories are nothing short of perfection. A masterclass in the genre, from an author who deservedly lays claim to being one of the major fiction writers of our time.

Die in »Ferne Verabredungen« versammelten schönsten Erzählungen der kanadischen Nobelpreisträgerin Alice Munro, darunter auch, erstmals auf Deutsch, ihre frühe Erzählung »Die Dimensionen eines Schattens«, spiegeln das ganze Panorama ihrer Kunst. Da ist die junge Pauline in der berühmten Erzählung »Die Kinder bleiben hier«, die Hals über Kopf ihre Familie verlässt, oder Fiona und Grant in »Der Bär kletterte über den Berg«, deren langjährige Ehe sich durch Fionas Demenz fundamental verändert. Es sind Geschichten von verborgenen Sehnsüchten, die sich allmählich ihren Raum erobern, scheinbar belanglosen Ereignissen, die doch ein ganzes Dasein infrage stellen, Geschichten vom Unterwegssein, von kühnen Momenten des Ausbrechens – mal eindringlich, mal beunruhigend, doch immer voller Sympathie für das Leben und seine Helden. Mit einem Nachwort von Manuela Reichart.

Super ET: Troppa felicità

Felicità? Troppa felicità? Qual è il limite entro cui ci si può dire felici? Per Alice Munro è chiaro: la felicità sta nel potenziale di spregiudicatezza della vecchiaia, l'età che permette di spingersi fino a fondo nel vortice della vita. E se poi la felicità è troppa, restano le storie. Storie di omicidi, furti, suicidi, crudeltà, bugie, che portano allo scoperto le crepe e le fratture che sfregiano silenziosamente anche le esistenze normali. E rendono visibile quello che si nasconde dietro ad ogni illusione, ad ogni tentativo di dimenticare e di distorcere ciò che è stato. Con una scrittura sempre piú consapevole e mai cosí grande Alice Munro trascina il lettore in un caleidoscopio di racconti di bellezza incandescente, animati «da un'elettricità inedita, una scarica di tremenda libertà».
