Book Description
One of the great exponents of the direct cinema style, Quebecois poet, essayist, and film-maker Pierre Perrault (1927-1999) began his documentary career in radio before joining the more traditional Ren’e Bonni’ere filming life in the lower St. Lawrence. In the 1960s he joined the National Film Board of Canada to shoot films in the new direct style, taking a small two-man crew into communities to reveal their beliefs and allegiances as they coped with social change. His legendary trilogy on the Ile-aux-Coudres opened with his most famous work, Pour la suite du monde (1963). Ostensibly a look at the local people’s effort to revive a traditional beluga hunt, it is actually the beginning of a lifelong inquiry into the relationship between community and national identity. This relationship emerges most clearly in the highly poetic Un pays sans bon sens! (1970), which brought Perrault into conflict with the NFB. The film was sidelined for many years. After a trip outside Quebec to Moncton to document francophone student unrest, Perrault made a second trilogy, this one in northwestern Quebec, showing the collapse of traditional farming communities relocated to the Abitibi during the Great Depression. Further explorations took Perrault to the northern interiors of Quebec, the hunting woods of Maniwaki, and to the tall ships retracing Jacques Cartier’s voyages of discovery. The triology culminated in the desolate arctic landscapes of the mysterious muskox, and two of his most haunting creations. The first major publication on Perrault in English, Pierre Perrault and the Poetic Documentary discusses not only the world that Perrault’s cinema revealed but a revolution in film-making from a great poet. Co-written and edited by David Clandfield, Principal of New College in the University of Toronto, Pierre Perrault and the Poetic Documentary also features contributions from scholar Jerry White, as well as translations of some of Perrault’s writings on film. Published by the Toronto International Film Festival. Distributed in Canada by Wilfrid Laurier University Press. Distributed outside Canada by Indiana University Press.

Book Description
Don Quixote meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit in this slapstick epic about destiny, family demons, and revenge. In 1911, in a hockey game in Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula, local tough guy Billy Joe Pictou fires the puck into Monti Bouge's mouth. When Monti collapses with his head across the goal line, Victor Bradley, erstwhile referee and local mailman, rules that the goal counts. Monti's ensuing revenge for this injustice sprawls over three generations, one hundred years and dozens of alcohol-soaked tall tales, from treachery in northern gold-mining camps to the appearance of a legendary beast by turns playful and ferocious. It's up to Monti's grandson, François, to make sense of the vendetta between Monti and Bradley that has shaped the destiny of their town and everyone who lives there. In a sumptuous, unpredictable language and slapstick comedy, Christophe Bernard reveals himself as a master of epic storytelling.

Book Description
The prophesies are revealed. The time is nearing. Can you feel the quickening? Dirty dark evil. Under tattered cloak. Black eyes and meddling finger tips. Ever seeking. Stopping at nothing to find the way back to it's master. Hidden behind the shadow of its false faade. Wearing the mask of a mortal. Fearing that the Prelude to a Legend is near. In this fast-paced, character-driven novel, Prelude to a Legend, author D.A. Wust captures the essence of life caught in turmoil and suffering and makes you watch as each character finds their way through it. In this epic action-packed thriller, it is a race on the storm's front of spiritual warfare. A race to destroy the world of God's creation before the Prelude to a Legend appears. A demon persists against one man. A man chosen by God to set apart his differences and his beliefs to follow him. To stand against the pestilence and save the sacred scrolls protected by an ancient foreign people. To reign victory over and stare in the eyes of the beast without his own convictions to intercede. To bring hope and good tidings to a world ravaged by wickedness. Thus, the Prelude to a Legend begins. 'Not by the hand of revenge, God's will is carried, but by the hand of faith we will prevail!' D.A. Wust has a longing to witness to those who share in life's difficulties and is passionate about using his abilities to minister to those who do not yet believe. He resides in the Midwest along with his wife, Kristina, and four children.
