"Les îles: Promenades dans le golfe Saint-Laurent" by Faucher de Saint-Maurice is a travel narrative likely written during the late 19th century. This work explores the captivating natural landscapes and unique lives of the people living along the Saint Lawrence Gulf, particularly focusing on islands such as l'Île aux Oeufs and Anticosti, providing readers with vivid imagery and anecdotes from the journey. The opening of the narrative introduces the vibrant atmosphere aboard the steamer "Napoléon III" as it prepares to depart for the islands. The author describes the bustling dock filled with cargo and various characters, setting the scene for a diverse group of passengers including sailors, a medical student, and the amiable Agénor Gravel. As the boat heads toward the unknown, the narrator reflects on his personal connections to the region, particularly through memories tied to his late family. The initial chapters blend lively maritime impressions with deeper themes of isolation, camaraderie, and the contrasts between urban life and rural existence on the islands, effectively drawing the reader into the charm and challenges of life by the sea.
