La Quête
L'Odyssée d'André Poutré
La Quête
Description
Une grande majorité de Québécois de souche française descend soit d'un soldat issu du régiment de Carignan-Salières ou d'une fille du Roy. Mais qui étaient ces braves hommes et femmes qui ont sciemment quitté leurs terres natales pour s'exiler en Nouvelle-France et pourquoi l'ont-ils fait ?
Suivez le périple d'André Poutré, dit Lavigne, apprenti cordonnier natif d'un petit village sis au nord-est de la France qui soudainement, entend l'appel du roi Louis XIV qui sollicite des volontaires pour venir protéger les habitants de la Nouvelle-France des attaques sournoises des Agniers. Revivez sa traversée périlleuse de l'océan, les durs labeurs de la construction du fort Richelieu et des combats en territoire ennemi. Assistez à la rencontre et au mariage avec Jeanne Burel, fille du Roy et le début de sa vie de couple dans la seigneurie de Saurel. Retrouvez cet homme humble et meurtri qui nous raconte ses joies et ses peines, les aléas et les bouleversements de son quotidien en cette terre sauvage. Pourra-t-il survivre au climat ardu de cette Nouvelle-France ou laissera-t-il tout tomber pour retourner en France ?
