Marian Engel
The winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction, Marian Engel’s most famous – and most controversial – novel tells the unforgettable story of a woman transformed by a primal, erotic relationship. Lou is a lonely librarian who spends her days in the dusty archives of the Historical Institute. When an unusual field assignment comes her way, she jumps at the chance to travel to a remote island in northern Ontario, where she will spend the summer cataloguing a library that belonged to an eccentric nineteenth-century colonel. Eager to investigate the estate’s curious history, she is shocked to discover that the island has one other inhabitant: a bear. Lou’s imagination is soon overtaken by the island’s past occupants, whose deep fascination with bears gradually becomes her own. Irresistibly, Lou is led along a path of emotional and sexual self-awakening, as she explores the limits of her own animal nature. What she discovers will change her life forever. As provocative and powerful now as when it was first published. Includes a reading group guide.

Reseñas de la Crítica
--National Post
“A strange and wonderful book, plausible as kitchens, but shapely as a folktale, and with the same disturbing resonance.”
--Margaret Atwood
“Canada’s Lolita or Lady Chatterley’s Lover.”
--Globe and Mail
“Bear works as simply and mysteriously as a folktale. It is a remarkable tour de force.”
--New York Times
“A startlingly alive narrative of the forbidden, the unthinkable, the hardly imaginable.”
--Washington Post
“At once insightful and mysterious. . . . Bear is brave. We should be too.”
--Andrew Pyper
“It’s a modern Canadian fable . . . and, above all, totally readable.”
--Hazlitt Magazine
“An astounding novel, both earthy and mythical, which leads into the human self and also outward to suggest and celebrate the mystery of life itself.”
--Margaret Laurence, author of The Stone Angel
“A riveting story . . . brilliant and moving.”
– Publishers Weekly

Gorgeous prose and a story like no other.
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
It's the boring story of a woman who takes care of an old house in an island with a bear. And her recognition of herself during her days in that place.
Victoria's voice is also kind of a soporific, very calm and slow, like trying to be seductive throughout the whole story.
I wouldn't recommend it
