O ovoj e-knjizi
Roughing it in the Bush is the compelling true story of pioneer Susanna Moodie’s experience immigrating to Canada with her sister, Catharine Parr Traill, in the 1830s. Moodie’s narrative is a frank, sometimes humorous, portrayal of life in the Canadian wild, capturing the physical demands of homesteading and the complex personal relationships between settlers.
Initially conceived as a “guide” for British subjects considering immigrating to Canada, Roughing it in the Bush is part of a trilogy that also includes Flora Lyndsay and Life in the Clearings, and continues to inform and inspire Canadians about what life was like at the birth of a nation.

O autoru
Susanna Moodie, born in Suffolk, England, was the youngest of five daughters, four of whom became writers of fiction and poetry. (Moodie's elder sister, Catharine Parr Traill, a lesser-known British colonial author, wrote The Backwoods of Canada). Before immigrating to Canada, in 1832, Moodie penned numerous poems and stories, all heavily didactic and decidedly second-rate. However, once she had settled in Upper Canada (now Ontario) with her husband, John Dunbar Moodie, the harsh life of the settler provoked a more realistic literary response. Her autobiographical Roughing It in the Bush, published in 1852, is a series of sketches stitched into a larger narrative. It is a book expressing the hopes and defeat, the pride and the anger the early settlers felt toward their new home, the Canadian bush. A sequel, Life in the Clearings versus the Bush, appeared in 1853. Throughout her life Susanna Moodie's literary output continued to be prolific. Yet it is the frank and colorful quality of Roughing It that has placed her in the forefront of early Canadian writers.
