La Grosse Maladie, by Jacques Cartier
Condition: VeryGood.
"La Grosse Maladie (1953) presents a facsimile of Jacques Cartier’s 1545 account, "Brief récit et succincte narration," chronicling his explorations of Canada, Hochelaga, and Saguenay. This edition, published in Montreal by the XIXe Congrès international de physiologie, includes a fresh translation of Cartier’s vivid chapter on battling scurvy—the eponymous “grosse maladie.” Alongside Cartier's observations of Indigenous customs, language, and ceremonies, the volume offers a new analysis of the enigmatic “Mystère de l’Annedda” by Jacques Rousseau. With maps and illustrations scattered across 129 pages, it’s a scholarly treasure trove for anyone craving early exploration tales and medical history with a dash of herbal mystery."
