«La Montagne secrète» is the novel by Gabrielle Roy, published by Boréal in paperback (186 pages, in French).
Pierre Cadorai, painter and trapper, travels the Canadian Far North and later discovers Paris and Provence. Amid sparse encounters and a slow apprenticeship of his craft, he tries to capture the barest face of the human being in a nature that alternates welcome and hostility. His journey is a search for the meaning of his art and his own life.
Work partly inspired by the life of painter René Richard, a friend of Gabrielle Roy. The novel was first published in 1961; this French edition is from 1994.
For readers of twentieth-century Canadian fiction interested in artistic vocation and the relationship between the human being and nature.
