Description
Grand-Pré est un toponyme très évocateur, non seulement au Canada, mais partout dans le monde. Les événements qui se déroulent dans ce village acadien vers la fin de l'été et durant l'automne 1755 occupent une place importante dans l'histoire de l'Amérique du Nord.
About the authors
A.J.B. Johnston has published more than a dozen books and hundreds of articles, a thirty-plus years career studying and writing about 18th-century French colonial history in Acadia. In recognition of his prolific career as a historian and writer, John was invested by France with the title Chevalier of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques (Order of Academic Palms). Johnston has now turned his hand to fiction. Long inspired to know more about Thomas Pichon (1700-1781), In his first novel, Thomas, A Secret Life (CBU Press, 2012), Johnston applied his considerable sense of 18th-century French history to imagine young Pichon’s early life in Normandy and Paris. For The Maze, Johnston did extensive research on 18th-century London.
