Curtis<\/em> (2000)<\/p>\n<p>DESROSIERS, LEO-PAUL (1896-1967). Leo-Paul Desrosiers was born in Berthier-en-Haut, Quebec, a village on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River northeast of Montreal. His happy childhood provided him with material for his first work, <em>Ames et Paysages<\/em> (1922), and a job as a government news editor gave him the time he needed to write <em>Nord-Sud<\/em> (1931). <em>Les Engages du Grand Portage<\/em> (1938), generally considered his best-written novel, tells of the ambitions and hardships of fur-trading voyageurs paddling canoes through calm and storm on the Great Lakes and connected waters in the early 1800s. Vacations in his beloved Gaspe, a small fishing village on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, inspired him to use this locale as a setting for his psychological novel <em>L&#8217;Ampoule d&#8217;or <\/em>(1951), for which he won the Prix Duvernay. Other works include <em>Commencements<\/em> (1939), <em>Les Opiniatres<\/em> (1941), <em>Sources<\/em> (1942), <em>Iroquoisie<\/em> (1947), and the trilogy <em>Vous Qui Passez<\/em> (1958-1960).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Ames et Paysages<\/em>&nbsp;(1922)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/babel.hathitrust.org\/cgi\/pt?id=mdp.39015033204705&amp;view=1up&amp;seq=7&amp;skin=2021\">HathiTrust<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/amesetpaysages00desr\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Nord-Sud<\/em>&nbsp;(1931)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/nordsud0000desr\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Les Engages du Grand Portage<\/em>&nbsp;(1938)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/books\/edition\/Les_engag%C3%A9s_du_Grand_Portage\/outEEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=Les+Engages+du+Grand+Portage+(1938)&amp;pg=PT1&amp;printsec=frontcover\">Google Books<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Commencements<\/em>&nbsp;(1939)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/commencements0000desr\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Sources<\/em>&nbsp;(1942)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/sources0000desr\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Iroquoisie<\/em>&nbsp;(1947)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/iroquoisie0000desr_j1x7\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Vous Qui Passez<\/em> (1958)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/vousquipassezrom0000desr_e2r3\/page\/n5\/mode\/2up\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>keywords: white, male, Canada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Donald P.
