Certain Freedoms is an unforgettable novel set against the upheaval of a nation at a turning point in history. Award-winning author R. R. Bell brings readers into the lives of Russians and expatriates from the West caught up in Russia's fight to realize its new freedom after the fall of communism. Set during the weeks leading up to the siege of the nation's parliament, the novel explores the power of the past to threaten our future. In this richly textured rendering of the period, Bell brilliantly links the lives of English teachers, a disillusioned communist, an icon painter and a woman struggling to translate the most important word of her generation: Freedom.

Devil Is a Travelling Man: Two Plays by W.O. Mitchell
W.O. Mitchell jokingly called himself the great re-run king, but his retellings of age-old conflicts between humanity and the Devil strikingly display his versatile adaptive talents. <br><em>The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon</em> is a whimsical take on the Faust legend with a distinctly Canadian flavor. Filled with wry humor and set against the backdrop of a timeless small-town dynamic, the story of Wullie MacCrimmon's curling duel with the Devil combines the edginess of Marlowe's classic tale with the down-to-earth wry Canadian humor of "Corner Gas.". <br><em>The Devil's Instrument</em> depicts a Hutterite teenager struggling with conformity in a puritan society. Mitchell's devil in this play is a figure of sympathy, but lines such as "Happy? I am free!" invite the ambiguity of whether it is better to indulge in what seems natural, or strive for the divine. Introduced by Ormond Mitchell and Barbara Mitchell and including original production photography, this collection provides humor, sobriety, and wonderful storytelling with a dash of the infernal. An essential, whimsical part of Oxford's new Outlooks on Canadian Literature series.
