FEU - Lueurs et Fureurs

FEU - Lueurs et Fureurs

The word “fire” conjures up images of both the dancing flames of a cozy fireplace and the towering blaze of an inferno. Since the time humans tamed this element, fire has been both an indispensable tool and a relentless destroyer. This duality, which has existed for thousands of years in Quebec, is explored and illustrated in this new work on the multiple powers of this elusive element. The fire that catches when you blow on embers. The fire that drives founding myths, engages the spirit, and is used for sacred ceremonial rites. The fire that unites, nourishes, and enlightens. The fire of furnaces, forges and industries that transform clay, metal and many other materials. The fire from weapons and conflagrations that destroys but also preserve what it touches. Read this next chapter in the story of archaeological research in Quebec.
