L'influence d'un livre: Roman historique by Philippe Aubert de Gaspé

"L'influence d'un livre: Roman historique" by Philippe Aubert de Gaspé is a novel written in 1837. Considered the first novel in Quebec literature, it follows Charles Amand, a peasant obsessed with discovering the secrets of alchemy and treasure hunting. His quest leads him through failed spirit invocations, murder investigations, shipwrecks, and years of isolation. Meanwhile, his daughter's suitor must prove himself worthy of marriage. Rich with folklore and national history, this dark tale challenges traditional heroism with its deeply flawed protagonist. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
