It recounts the crises he faces during a troubled marriage and the great stock market crash of 1929. His life parallels the growth and development of Manitoba during the same period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStead considered \u003ci\u003eDry Water\u003c\/i\u003e, written in 1934–1935, to be his crowning achievement. He was unable to find a publisher for it during his lifetime, although an abridged edition was published by Tecumseh Press in 1983. This new edition includes the complete typescript, a critical introduction, and explanatory notes that place this novel in its proper literary and historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Ottawa Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116880740592,"sku":"9780776618265","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780776618265_p0.jpg?v=1763667832","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780776618265","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
