Until recently, McClelland and Stewart had been known as 'The Canadian Publisher', the country's longest-lived and best independent press. Its dynamic leader, Jack McClelland, worked with successive provincial and federal governments to help draft policies in the 1960s and '70s which ensured that Canadian stories would, for the first time in the nation's history, be told and published by Canadians. M&S introduced Canadians to themselves while championing the nation's literature.

During the Yukon Gold Rush, a jilted lover returns to settle his score.

At a time when Vancouver Island was still an extremely remote and sparsely populated backwater, a young widow packed her five children into a 25-foot boat dubbed The Caprice and set off on an adventure. Summer after summer the brave young mother, who became known as "Capi," would set sail and explore the rugged coastline for months with her young crew. Although the hazards the family faced were numerous-tides, fog, storms, rapids, cougars, and even grizzlies-Capi brought them through it all.

Justin Trudeau has spent his life in the public eye.

Perfect for fans of the musical Come From Away! When 38 jetliners bound for the United States were forced to land at Gander International Airport in Canada by the closing of U.S. airspace on September 11, the population of this small town on Newfoundland Island swelled from 10,300 to nearly 17...

Told from multiple points of view - including those of James and Dolley Madison and a British admiral - this is the true story of the burning of the White House in 1814. It's unimaginable today, even for a generation that saw the Twin Towers fall and the Pentagon attacked. It's unimaginable because in 1814, enemies didn't fly overhead; they marched through the streets, and for 26 hours in August, the British enemy marched through Washington, DC, and set fire to government buildings, including the US Capitol and the White House.

Dzisiejsza młodzież wariuje na punkcie długowłosych śpiewaków albo mistrzów piłki kopanej, ale w latach dwudziestych i trzydziestych XX wieku największym wzięciem cieszyli się lotnicy. A jeśli w dodatku byli tak przystojni, wytworni i inteligentni jak Charles Augustus Lindbergh.

In 1983 Virginia Vallejo - a former model, a raising star of the Colombian television, and a socialite - met Pablo Escobar and fell in love with him. Few people have had the opportunity to get to know him as well as she did - a lover of the most wanted and the richest criminal in the world. It was one of the most scandalous romances of the 20th century, and at the same time, one of the biggest events in publishing in 2017! This story is so incredible it seems to be literary fiction.

La vérité a souvent un goût amer. Nous ne savons comment accepter nos histoires. Faut-il s'en tenir aux faits et dire la vérité ? Cet ouvrage monumental si richement documenté est précieux, il nous tire de l'oubli et du silence. Que savons-nous de l'esclavage au Canada ? Que savons-nous de la répression exercée sur les femmes et les hommes noirs ? Que savons-nous du racisme systémique ? Que savons-nous de la détresse des Autochtones, des sans-papiers, des personnes réfugiées ? Enfin fort peu...

Faisant fi des conseils de ses proches, Ange-Élizabeth Boucher de Montizambert s'embarque en direction du poste de traite du lac Chamouchouane, près du lac St-Jean, afin de rejoindre son père, qu'elle sait très malade et qu'elle imagine peut-être même mort.

Après le succès de Nouvelle-France. Ce qu'on aurait dû vous enseigner, Gilles Proulx revient à la charge pour revaloriser la mémoire collective du Québec.

Ce n'est pas d'hier que Gilles Proulx sonne l'alarme : les Québécois sont de plus en plus ignorants de leur histoire, oublieux de leurs ancêtres et inconscients du travail colossal que ceux-ci ont accompli pour poser les fondations du Québec d'aujourd'hui.

Les 38 causes notoires racontées dans ce livre avec talent par le journaliste Daniel Proulx nous instruisent sur notre pensée et notre morale. Elles forcent la réflexion sur l’état de notre société et de notre justice, ce pilier de notre démocratie.

Passionnant voyage dans l’aventure québécoise, ce livre nous invite à traverser quatre siècles en dix escales: jours de colère ou de liesse, de défaite ou de victoire, de recul ou de progrès, dates fatidiques qui continuent aujourd’hui de définir le Québec. Chacun avec sa voix propre et à la lumière de sa spécialité, les auteurs éclairent ces tournants décisifs du long chemin parcouru par les Québécoises et les Québécois.

Declassified government records shed additional light on the cancellation and subsequent destruction of the Avro Arrow. The controversial cancellation of the Avro Arrow - an extraordinary achievement of Canadian military aviation - continues to fire debate today. When the program was scrapped in 1959, all completed aircraft and those awaiting assembly were destroyed, along with tooling and technical information. Was abandoning the program the right decision? Did Canada lose more than it gained?

"Christopher Klein's fresh telling of this story is an important landmark in both Irish and American history." —James M. McPherson Just over a year after Robert E. Lee relinquished his sword, a band of Union and Confederate veterans dusted off their guns. But these former foes had no intention...

At the dawn of the 19th century, the great powers of Western Europe treated the United States like a disobedient child. America's complaints were ignored, until President James Madison declared a second war on Great Britain. British forces would descend on the United States, but America rallied and survived. With stunning detail on land and naval battles, the role Native Americans played in the hostilities, and the larger backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, this is the story of the turning points of this strange conflict, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner".
