DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Sketch of the Winters Family IN the following pages we propose to give a sketch, as far as our limited information will permit, of that branch of the Winters family to which we belong, so that our con temporaries, and those of the same name that come after us may learn something of the stock from which they sprang. A lack of family records, running back of the time of the landing of our ancestors on the soil of America, together with the uncertainty attending the date of its occurrence and the reason of it, opens up a vast field for the play of the imagination, the exercise of which might interest the lovers of romance, but could not satisfy the demands of history. In order, then, that we may not become entangled in its byways, nor lost in its labyrinths, we shall put on the bit and the curb and pull ourselves up with a round turn whenever we wander too far.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A Globe & Mail Top 100 Book of 2015 Longlisted for The 2015 Giller Prize A Finalist for the Governor General's Literary Prize "Sadistic but mesmerizing..." -- The New York Times Book Review Tracing a group of ruthless outlaws from its genesis during the American Civil War all the way to a final bloody stand in the Oklahoma territories, The Winter Family is a hyperkinetic Western noir that reads like a full-on assault to the senses. Spanning the better part of three decades, The Winter Family traverses America's harsh, untamed terrain, both serving and opposing the fierce advance of civilization. Among its twisted specimens, the Winter Family includes the psychopathic killer Quentin Ross, the mean and moronic Empire brothers, the impassive ex-slave Fred Johnson, and the dangerous child prodigy Lukas Shakespeare But at the malevolent center of this ultraviolent storm is their cold, hardened leader, Augustus Winter—a man with an almost pathological resistance to the rules of society and a preternatural gift for butchery. From their service as political thugs in a brutal Chicago election to their work as bounty hunters in the deserts of Arizona, there's a hypnotic logic to Winter's grim borderland morality that plays out, time and again, in ruthless carnage. With its haunting, hard-edged style, The Winter Family is a feverishly paced meditation on human nature and the dark contradictions of progress.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare originally published in the First Folio of 1623. Although it was grouped among the comedies, many modern editors have relabelled the play as one of Shakespeare's late romances. Some critics consider it to be one of Shakespeare's problem plays because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending
