New York, 11 septembre 2001. John LaLiberté, dit Cat, Indien mohawk et ironworker, assiste à l'effondrement des Twin Towers. Puis…
comme des dizaines de Mohawks, chalumeau en main, il sectionne l'acier à la recherche de survivants dans l'enfer de Ground Zero. Depuis six générations, les Mohawks construisent l'Amérique. La légende veut qu'ils ne connaissent pas le vertige, eux qui ont simplement appris de père en fils à apprivoiser la peur et travailler là où d'autres ne veulent pas s'aventurer. Embrassant plus d'un siècle, ce roman polyphonique nous raconte l'épopée de cette tribu indienne, la seule à avoir gagné, par son travail et son courage, sa place dans le monde des Blancs, sans renier ses croyances ni ses traditions. Dans Ciel d'acier, Michel Moutot part à l'aventure, remonte le temps, du premier rivet porté au rouge dans un brasero de charbon sur un pont à Montréal, en 1886, jusqu'à la construction de la Liberty Tower, qui remplace aujourd'hui le World Trade Center. 2015.By Waubgeshig Rice. 2014

" Situé dans les espaces sauvages du Canada du XVIIe siècle, ce roman épique, empreint tout à la fois de…
beauté et de violence, est d'ores et déjà considéré dans son pays comme un chef-d'oeuvre. Trois voix tissent l'écheveau d'une fresque où se confrontent les traditions et les cultures : celle d'un jeune jésuite français, d'un chef de guerre huron et d'une captive iroquoise. Trois personnages réunis par les circonstances, divisés par leur appartenance. Car chacun mène sa propre guerre : l'un pour convertir les Indiens au christianisme, les autres, bien qu'ennemis, pour s'allier ou chasser ces Corbeaux venus prêcher sur leur terre. Trois destins scellés à jamais dans un monde sur le point de basculer. Mêlant lyrisme et poésie, convoquant la singularité de chaque voix - habitée par la foi absolue ou la puissance prophétique du rêve -, Joseph Boyden restitue, dans ce roman d'une puissance visuelle qui rappelle Le Nouveau Monde de Terrence Malick, la folie et l'absurdité de tout conflit, donnant à son livre une dimension d'une incroyable modernité, où le passé et le futur sont le présent . " -- 4e de couv. Titre uniforme: Orenda.By Joseph Boyden, Hugues Leroy. 2006

a survécu à la guerre. Pourtant, l'homme qui descend du train n'est pas Elijah, mais son neveu Xavier qu'elle croyait disparu, ou plutôt son ombre malade et méconnaissable. Trois jours durant, à bord du canoë qui les ramène chez eux, Xavier, entre la vie et la mort, replonge dans les eaux sombres de son passé. À travers le destin brisé de ces deux personnages, Joseph Boyden évoque, dans ce remarquable premier roman, l'horreur de la guerre avec une force rare. Déchirant, passionnant, " Le chemin des âmes " est aussi une réflexion sur notre propre humanité et ce qui la menace.

(Taz) Mosquito. They are among the first of their families to live off the reserve for most of their adult lives, and must adapt and evolve. In stories like “Stranger danger”, we watch how shy Julie, though supported by her roomies, is filled with apprehension as she goes on her first white-guy date, while years later in “Two years less a day” we witness her change as her worries and vulnerability are put to the real test when she is unjustly convicted in a violent melee and must serve some jail time. As the four friends experience family catastrophes, broken friendships, travel to Mexico, and the aftermath of 9/11, readers are intimately connected with each struggle, whether it is with racism, isolation, finding their cultural identity, or repairing the wounds of their upbringing. 2017.By Pauline Holdstock. 2011
