Beschreibung:
Anne Hébert was born on August 1, 1916 in Quebec. When she died in January 2000, she was one of Canada's most highly acclaimed and successful literary stars.
A classic of Canadian literature by the great Quebecoise writer, "Kamouraska" is based on a real nineteenth-century love-triangle in rural Quebec. It paints a poetic and terrifying tableau of the life of Elisabeth d'Aulnieres: her marriage to Antoine Tassy, squire of Kamouraska; his violent murder; and her passion for George Nelson, an American doctor. Passionate and evocative, "Kamouraska" is the timeless story of one woman's destructive commitment to an ideal love. Translated into seven languages, "Kamouraska" won the Paris book prize and was made into a landmark feature film by Claude Jutra. This edition features a brilliant new introduction by Noah Richler.
