Synopsis
Born in Montreal in 1922, Mavis Gallant left a career as a leading journalist in that city to move to Paris in 1950 to write. Since that time she has been publishing stories on a regular basis in The New Yorker , many of which have been anthologized. Her world-wide reputation has been established by books such as From the Fifteenth District and Home Truths , which won the Governor General’s Award in 1982. In that same year she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, becoming a Companion of the Order in 1993, the year that she published Across the Bridge and was the recipient of a special tribute at the Harbourfront International Festival of Authors in Toronto. In 1996, The Selected Stories of Mavis Gallant was published to universal acclaim. Paris Stories , a selection edited by Michael Ondaatje, appeared in 2002, and was followed by the companion volume Montreal Stories , edited by Russell Banks, in 2004. Gallant is a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. She has received several honorary degrees from Canadian universities and remains a much-sought-after public speaker. In 2001 she became the first winner of the Matt Cohen Award, and in 2002 she won the Blue Metropolis International Literary Grand Prix and the Rea Award for the Short Story. She continues to live in Paris. From the Hardcover edition.

About Librería Torreón de Rueda
El primer establecimiento que abrimos, estuvo localizado en un antiguo torreón del casco antiguo de Segovia llamado de Rueda, por la familia que antaño allí habitaba.
De ahí procede nuestro nombre.
En este pequeño local, comenzamos nuestra aventura con unos 2000 ejemplares, provenientes de colección propia.
Pasados los años el volumen de ejemplares fue adquiriendo un número mayor, hasta llegar a los 45.000 ejemplares de los que actualmente disponemos, entre libros, grabados, ex-libris, etc.
Hoy en día, ademas de las páginas web en las que estamos inscritos, pueden visitarnos en nuestra librería de la Calle Grabador Espinosa nº 14.
Si deseara hojear algún ejemplar o solicitar cualquier tipo de información puede contactar con nosotros y gustosamente se la ofreceremos.
