"Jacques Cartier" by H. Emile Chevalier is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the life and adventures of the famous explorer Jacques Cartier, regarded as the first French explorer of North America. It not only aims to recount Cartier's exploits but also to highlight historical and regional details about Saint-Malo and Bretons during the 16th century, where Cartier hailed from. The opening of the narrative sets a dramatic tone, depicting a harsh and desolate winter landscape that contrasts sharply with the character’s aspirations of grandeur and discovery. The setting is established aboard a vessel trapped in ice, where the captain, Jacques Cartier, and his crew endure the frigid isolation of the open sea. The tale begins with Cartier contemplating the challenges of exploration, revealing both his leadership qualities and a hint of melancholy connected to loved ones left behind. Through conversations between crew members, readers are introduced to Cartier's motivations, his dreams of exploration, and the backdrop of political intrigue that defines his journey into the unknown.

Reading ease score: 73.6 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
