Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating journey through the history and character of Quebec City, the heart of French Canada. The author takes us back to the time of Jacques Cartier, the first European explorer to land on the site, and his encounters with the indigenous people. We learn about the founding of Quebec by Samuel de Champlain, a man of remarkable courage and ambition who dedicated his life to building the French colony. The book explores the early days of settlement and the roles of the RÃÂ collets, Jesuits and Ursulines who brought religion and education to the region. The author also delves into the establishment of the Intendant's Palace, a symbol of French power and luxury, and the role of the influential Bishop Laval in shaping the religious landscape of the colony. We are presented with a vivid portrait of a time when Quebec was a bustling fur trading post, a place of great contrasts, where the grandeur of the French monarchy met the harsh realities of life in a new and untamed land. This book sheds light on the enduring legacy of Quebec's rich history and cultural identity.
