A Discovery of Strangers

by Rudy Wiebe

A Discovery of Strangers by acclaimed Canadian novelist Rudy Wiebe, published in 1994 by Alfred A. Knopf Canada. This hardcover copy is the stated first edition and includes its original dust jacket.

Wiebe's historical novel imaginatively revisits John Franklin's early Arctic expedition and the encounter between the British expedition party and the Yellowknife people during the search for the Northwest Passage. Against the severe northern landscape, the novel examines exploration, survival, cultural collision, and the human relationships formed between strangers.

This copy is signed and personally inscribed by Rudy Wiebe on the title page and dated 1994. It is in Very Good condition as assessed by the seller and has deckled-edge pages. The dust jacket is now protected by a clear removable plastic cover.

The photographed title, copyright, and author-information pages appear clean in the visible areas. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual copy being offered.
