About the Author:
Acclaimed as one of Canada’s foremost novelists, Rudy Wiebe’s reputation began in 1962 with the publication of his first novel, Peace Shall Destroy Many. Born in Saskatchewan in 1934, he spent his youth there and in Coaldale, Alberta. By the time he graduated from the University of Alberta he had already published a number of poems and short stories. In 1963 he taught at Goshen College, Indiana, and later, after studying creative writing at the University of Iowa, returned to the University of Alberta, where he continued to teach in the English Department. His short stories have appeared in Tamarack Review, Fiddlehead and Prism international. Besides editing several story anthologies, he has published three other novels, First and Vital Candle (1966), The Blue Mountains of China (1970), and Peace Shall Destroy Many (1962) which is now available in a New Canadian Library paperback reprint.
Review:
“The Temptations of Big Bear is one of the best novels, perhaps, ever written in Canada.”—Maclean’s
“Wiebe tackles history and succeeds in making it dramatic, intriguing, romantic and tragic.... An astounding and deep portrayal of human emotion.”—Calgary Herald Magazine
“A very rare, complexly emotional and profoundly philosophical experience.... A fictional meditation, in which [Wiebe] enters the very texture of the lives of his characters, Indian and white.... He has created a style for [Big Bear's] incredible voice that fully wins our belief in its greatness and power.... A masterpiece.”—Edmonton Journal
