Produktbeschreibung

Montreal. It is a remarkable city, filled with the tumult of conversations in all the languages of the world, the city-island surrounded by the waters of St. Lawrence river.
"Le Fleuve", as they call this great river, with tenderness, the people of Quebec in their native language. The flow begins somewhere in the land of the Great Lakes and runs through Ontario and Quebec. Before reaching the ocean, it turns into the huge bay St. Lawrence. Beluga whales and lobsters live there as it is already quite close to the ocean and it is so broad, that the other shore is hardly seen.
The Province of Quebec is inhabited mostly by people of French origin, but the city of Montreal is a very special place, where in the same street you can see Christian churches, synagogues, mosques, Hindu and Buddhist temples. People walking the streets are of all rainbow colors, also local "Gay Village" presents proudly their rainbow flags. The city itself is hard not to love it in the summer, while it is impossible to love during the harsh winter, though of course there are some winter sports enthusiasts, who think differently. The central part of the city is known as the Plateau of Montreal, a multiethnic part of the metropolitan area, where the action of a story described below takes place.
Story in which the local mob is trying to take care of money of others.

Autorenporträt

Andrzej Galicki (Andre Gal - his English pen name) was born in Warsaw, where he spent his childhood and early youth. After graduating from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, a Plock branch of the Warsaw Politechnika School, he began to work as a site engineer on a number of priority construction sites, including the construction of the Central Railway Station in Warsaw.
In 1980, discouraged by the prevailing social relations in the People's Republic of Poland, he left the country. He has never been a member of the Polish Communist Party and considers this to be his greatest achievement from that period of life.
He lived successively in several cities (Paris, Vienna, Toronto) before permanently settlingin Montreal, where he still lives today with his wife, Marlena. He works as a designer for one of the leading engineering companies in Canada, at the planification of hydroelectric power plants, while during his free time, he engages in his literary projects.
So far, he has written eight books: The Bench, Candlelight Stories, Behind the Big Water, White Valley, At the Crossroads, Zawrotna Street, Orion and It happened in Montreal, of which some are still not disponible in English. He has visited all the places described in his books with the exception of a hospital for the mentally ill (so far). The events depicted in his novels are partially veritables, but the characters appearing in them are fictitious.
Besides literature, he is busy with painting, having exhibited his works in Montreal, New Jersey and New York, some of his paintings he used to provide the covers of his books. Several of them can be viewed on the website "Artsland": http://www.artslant.com
His books are available on most networks of Polish internet bookstores as well on some U.S. sites, such as amazon.com
The author cordially greets all his readers, wishing them a great time during their venture into the jungle of the best books they can find on the net.
