Maria Chapdelaine : A Tale of the Lake St. John Country

Louis Hémon wrote this book during his time working at a farm in the Lac Saint-Jean region. He never saw the widespread publication of his landmark novel. Since his death, Maria Chapdelaine has been translated into more than 20 languages in 23 countries, while other novels were published posthumously. The work was also celebrated through a series of paintings by renowned Canadian artist, Rajka Kupesic.
