Synopsis
Plongez dans une vie domestique et paysanne, vue à travers des tableaux simples et évocateurs.
Chez Nous offre des scènes quotidiennes qui mêlent travail, foi et famille, rendant accessible une vision intime de la vie locale sans détours ni fioritures. À travers des micro-narrations, le livre capture les gestes qui unissent les générations autour du foyer et de leurs traditions.
Le lecteur suit des images fortes: la fabrication d’un berceau de bois, le poêle qui réchauffe et garde la cuisine au cœur de la maison, et la place sacrée des rites quotidiens. On découvre aussi les rencontres avec ceux qui viennent de loin, des mendiants aux figures plus ambiguës, ainsi que des momeries poétiques où le langage et les chants animent les pièces.- Des descriptions du berceau familial et de son rôle à travers les naissances et les générations.
- Un portrait chaleureux du poêle comme âme et centre de la maison, en hiver comme en été.
- Des sketches sur les quêteux — leur manière de vivre, leurs histoires et leurs rencontres avec la communauté.
- Des scènes touchantes autour des écumeurs de tonnes et de la vie des quartiers portuaires.
- Un moment simple et sincère sur le Signe de la Croix et les gestes qui l’accompagnent.

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.
