L'OEIL AMÉRICAIN

L'exceptionnelle histoire d'amour entre un écrivain et la nature de son pays.

Pierre Morency, has turned his eagle eye to nature in this beautiful prose meditation that is at once animistic and practical. This is prose in service of no political position: this is seeing nature — the thing — as it is in itself, and therefore arguing by implication for preservation. This is prose in the great tradition of meditations on nature. A new edition of classic of Quebec and Canadian literature. The exceptional love story between a writer and the nature of his country. A book enriched with illustrations of flora and fauna.

Born in 1942, Pierre Morency is one of the most important writers of his generation. His work as a poet has been rewarded throughout the Francophonie. Rarely has the encounter between literature and nature been so grandiose in contemporary literature.
