David Fischer Livres

Dans Le Rêve de Champlain, l’historien américain David Hackett Fischer brosse un portrait profondément renouvelé et fascinant de cette figure que l’on croyait familière et en fait ressortir les multiples facettes : le soldat, l’espion à la solde du roi, l’artiste doué, le cartographe de génie et le navigateur hors pair. Champlain a lutté pour la réalisation d’un rêve immense, un Grand Dessein pour la France en Amérique. Pendant trente ans, il a sillonné un territoire que se partagent aujourd’hui six provinces canadiennes et cinq États américains, tout en menant un combat non moins farouche contre les ennemis de la Nouvelle-France à la cour d’Henri IV. Lui qui était né dans un pays ravagé par les guerres de religion, il a encouragé les mariages entre colons et Indiens, il a prêché la tolérance envers les protestants. Il a inlassablement tenté de maintenir la paix entre les nations indiennes, mais il a su quand il le fallait prendre les armes et imposer un nouvel équilibre politique, se révélant ainsi un guerrier et un stratège redoutables. Il a été un leader visionnaire, surtout si on le compare à ses contemporains anglais et espagnols, un homme qui rêvait d’un monde plus humain et vivant en paix, dans une époque marquée par la cruauté et la violence. Fruit d’une recherche colossale, accompagnée de nombreuses cartes et illustrations, dont plusieurs de la main de Champlain, cette grande biographie, la première depuis des décennies, est tout aussi enlevante que la vie de son modèle.
