Über diesen Titel

 Published in 1868, Armand Durand is a captivating novel by Rosanna Leprohon, an English-speaking author with deep insights into French Canada, thanks to her upbringing in Montreal and her marriage to a member of an esteemed Québécois family. The story follows Paul Durand, a successful farmer in Quebec, as he navigates the complexities of love and family by marrying two starkly different women and raising two sons who could not be more different from one another. Armand, the firstborn, is soft-spoken and scholarly, destined for a legal career in the city, while Paul Junior embodies the rugged spirit of the farm. This poignant narrative explores the intricate dynamics of parental, sibling, and marital relationships. Often hailed as one of Canada’s hidden literary gems, Armand Durand received acclaim in both its English and French editions but is now a rare find, particularly in its original English form. The study Silenced Sextet (1993) highlights its significance “it is a mature novel, valuable for its complex human relationships and also for its glimpses of Montreal life in Leprohon’s own time and of rural Quebec life in somewhat earlier days.” - Summary by Bruce PirieCopyright Family and Culture Sozialwissenschaften Welt Wissenschaft
