NOS GÉANTS saison 2 : Émile Nelligan par Philippe-Audrey Larrue-St-Jacques

Philippe-Audrey Larrue-St-Jacques introduces us with verve and humor to Émile Nelligan, a young prodigy with dazzling prose. Discover the tragic fate of the tormented poet, who gave Quebec literature some of its most famous verses! Émile Nelligan (1879-1941) is both a monument of our culture and one of the greatest French-speaking poets of the 19th century. A true poète maudit, interned when he was not yet twenty, he was deeply influenced by the Romantic and Symbolist movements. His poems break with the patriotic themes of Quebec poetry of the time to bring it into the modern era, exploring the horizons of love, death, madness, and even faith. First published by his friend Louis Dantin in 1904, Émile Nelligan's work, although brief, is today an essential part of Quebec's cultural heritage.
