CE ÎNSEAMNĂ MUNRO ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
Munro
Munro (ascultați (info · info)) este un munte din Scoția cu o înălțime de peste 914,4 m. Munros este numit după Sir Hugh Munro, al 4-lea Baronet (1856-1919), care a produs prima listă a unor astfel de dealuri, cunoscută sub numele de Munros Tables, în 1891. Un top Munro este un summit care nu este considerat un munte separat peste 3.000 de picioare. În revizuirea din 2012 a tabelelor, publicate de Clubul de alpinism scoțian, există 282 Munros și 227 de topuri suplimentare. Cel mai cunoscut Munro este Ben Nevis, cel mai înalt munte din insulele britanice. Munros din Scoția prezintă condiții dificile pentru drumeții, în special în timpul iernii. În fiecare an, oamenii mor pe munți. Cu toate acestea, o practică populară în rândul muncitorilor de munte este "Munro bagging", scopul fiind acela de a urca pe toți cei listați Munros. Începând cu anul 2009, peste 4 000 de persoane au raportat că își completează runda. Prima rundă continuă a lui Munros a fost finalizată de Hamish Brown în 1974, în timp ce actualul titular al recordului pentru cea mai rapidă rundă continuă este Stephen Pyke, care și-a încheiat runda din 2010 în doar 40 de zile.

Munro.
Peggy Atwood, Alice Munro, Hugh Hood, Michael Ondaatje - these are all old friends from my early 20s.
I'm sure I've been influenced by every fine writer I've ever read, from Dickens and Austen to Auden and Jane Hirshfield. And also, the short stories of Updike, Cheever, Munro, Alice Adams, and Doris Lessing. And the plays of Oscar Wilde. And paintings by Alice Neel and Matisse.
I think the few writers who influenced me most in writing short stories are Alice Munro and Grace Paley. They're very different, and I can't do what they do, but reading them gives me hope that I'll learn something from them.
Alice Munro is a particular kind of short story writer in that she writes long, character-driven short stories.
I love contemporary North American fiction and short fiction. My favorite writer is Jonathan Franzen, and my favorite writers of short fiction are George Saunders and Alice Munro.
Alice Munro is not only revered, she is cherished, her stories handled lovingly, turned over and over, gazed at and studied and breathed in with something approaching awe. She has never, over the years, written the way any of her contemporaries have.
I'm kind of a mash-up of taste - Graham Greene and Jane Austen; W.G. Sebald and Alice Munro.
It wasn't until I started to read short stories - by people like Alice Munro, Mavis Gallant, John Updike... Eudora Welty - that I became excited about the possibilities of writing.
