| Summary | "Au large de l'écueil: roman canadien" by Hector Bernier is a Canadian novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around the character Jules Hébert, who is returning to his homeland after an extended time abroad and is filled with patriotic fervor. The narrative delves into themes of national identity, the beauty of the Canadian landscape, and the tensions that arise from cross-cultural encounters, particularly between Hébert and Marguerite Delorme, a young woman from Paris. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the luxurious ship "Laurentic" as it sails up the Saint Lawrence River. The scene is picturesque, showcasing the enchanting landscapes of Canada, which captivates both passengers and crew. Jules Hébert is portrayed as a passionate and emotional character who finds deep meaning in the beauty of his homeland, especially as he converses with Marguerite Delorme, who is equally enchanted by the scenery. Their interactions hint at a budding connection, marked by their differing backgrounds—Hébert's fervent Canadian patriotism contrasts with Marguerite's free-thinking, secular upbringing as the daughter of an atheist. As they share their thoughts and feelings, the opening sets the stage for a complex exploration of love, loyalty, and national pride against the backdrop of Canada's rich and turbulent history.
