Saint-Gilles paper banner adorning the cover of the book. Beautiful illustrated edition. 'Il est considéré comme l'un des chefs-d'ouvre du roman du terroir québécois. L'histoire a lieu dans le rang de Mainsal, comté de Saint-Agnès, Charlevoix. Menaud est un draveur, c'est-à-dire qu'il s'affaire, au printemps, à s'assurer que les billots coupés l'hiver descendent la rivière sans créer d'embâcles. Les autres personnages principaux incluent Marie, fille de Menaud, ainsi que le Délié et le Lucon, deux jeunes draveurs en compétition pour la main de Marie.' ' The Novel is considered one of the masterpieces of the Quebec terroir. The story takes place in the rank of Mainsal, county of Saint-Agnès, Charlevoix. Menaud is a log driver, that is to say, he is busy, in the spring, to ensure that logs cut in winter go down the river without creating ice jams. Other main characters include Marie, daughter of Menaud, as well as the Délié and the Lucon, two young log drivers competing for the hand of Mary.' 189 pages. 11 x 13.25 inches.
