Description

Maria Chapdelaine, the quintessential novel of the rugged life of early French-Canadian colonists, is based on the author's experiences as a hired hand in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean area.

A young woman living with her family on the Quebec frontier, Maria endures the hardships of isolation and climate.

Maria must eventually choose between three suitors who represent very different ways of life: a trapper, a farmer, and a Parisian immigrant. Powerful in its simplicity, this novel captures the essence of faith and tenacity, the key ingredients of survivance.

Translated into many languages, Maria Chapdelaine is enshrined as a classic of Canadian letters.

A new introduction by Michael Gnarowski examines its relevance and provides insights into Louis Hemon's life.
