Synopsis
Excerpt from Chez Nous
Quatre planches, saines, de bonne épais scur, et fortement assemblées. Forment le cadre du ber. Un art rustique a façonné en quenouille l'extrémité des poteaux qui aux angles soutiennent l'édifice, a chantourné la pièce de tête suivant un profil d'une élégante sobriété. Les deux chanteaux ont été taillés dans un bois sans noeuds, et leur arc est tracé pour que le ber balance et roule, telle une barque sur la vague.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rural life and traditions of French-Canadian farmers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author, who grew up on a farm himself, provides a nostalgic and affectionate look at a way of life that was rapidly disappearing. The book is divided into short chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of farm life, from the daily routines of farming to the social and religious customs of the community. The author writes about the importance of family, the role of the church, and the close ties between the farmers and the land they worked. Throughout the book, the author reflects on the changes that were taking place in rural Quebec at the time. The arrival of new technologies, such as the tractor and the automobile, was beginning to transform the way of life that had remained largely unchanged for centuries. The author also discusses the challenges faced by French-Canadian farmers, such as the emigration of young people to the cities and the competition from imported agricultural products. Despite the challenges, the author's love for the land and his community shines through on every page. This book is a valuable record of a way of life that is now gone, and it offers a poignant reminder of the importance of family, community, and tradition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282662493_0
