This document is available in PDF format from the BNQ (Bibliothèque Nationale du Québec). "Picounoc le maudit" by Pamphile Lemay is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to revolve around the life of the main character, Picounoc, and explores themes of ambition, love, deceit, and the consequences of a family curse. As Picounoc prepares to marry Aglaé Larose, it becomes evident that his heart truly belongs to another woman, Noémie, complicating his future and relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to Picounoc and his interactions with several characters, including his fiancée Aglaé and his friend Paul Hamel, who warns Aglaé about the implications of marrying someone he claims carries a family curse. This prologue sets the stage for the tension between love and personal ambition, establishing a sense of foreboding about Picounoc's intentions and the demographic dynamics of their rural community. As Picounoc oscillates between his true affections for Noémie and his pragmatic marriage to Aglaé, the foundations of his relationships begin to crumble under the strain of jealousy and malice, suggesting that the curse may be as much about character as it is about fate.
