Un drame au Labrador by Vinceslas-Eugène Dick
"Un drame au Labrador" by Vinceslas-Eugène Dick is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the Labarou family, a poor fishing household residing on the desolate shores of Labrador, where they lead a simple but content life, unaware of the happiness that may exist elsewhere. The narrative explores their struggles and interactions with the environment, as well as an unexpected event that threatens their peaceful existence. At the
start of the novel, we are introduced to the Labarou family, led by the father, Labarou, who has fled his past in France. Alongside his wife, mother Hélène, and two children, Arthur and Mimie, they settle on the isolated Kécarpoui riverbank. Life is dictated largely by the fishing seasons, and they are accustomed to the rhythms of nature. However, an adventure unfolds when Arthur and his cousin Gaspard venture into the wilderness, encounter a hunting mishap involving a bear, and subsequently meet Wapwi, a young Indigenous boy, whose arrival changes the dynamics of their family. This transformative moment sets the stage for deeper themes of kinship, cultural encounters, and the complexities of their intertwined fates. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
