Description: "In this work, Serge Courville tells the geographical history of Quebec, beginning with the retreat of the last large glacier adn the appearance of the first human groups, and ending in our own time. Written as a wide-ranging epic, this detailed and astonishingly erudite history maps the major stages of Quebec's collective development and shows how in spite of the turbulence Quebec often endures - and perhaps even because of it - the land itself becomes a willing participant in the collective imaginary."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Translated from the French.
