Maturié, Pierre, author. Man proposes, God disposes : recollections of a French pioneer / Pierre Maturie ; a translation of Athabasca, terre de ma jeunesse by Vivien Bosley ; with an introduction by Robert Wardhaugh. Athabasca University Press 2013 Edmonton, Alberta : AU Press, 2013. ©2013 1 online resource (273 pages) : illustrations; digital, PDF file(s). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier text file rda Our Lives: Diary, Memoir, and Letters In 1910, young Pierre Maturié bid farewell to his comfortable bourgeois existence in rural France and travelled to northern Alberta in search of independence, adventure, and newfound prosperity. Some sixty years later, he wrote of the four years he spent in Canada before he returned to France in 1914 to fight in the First World War. Like that of so many youthful pioneers, his story is one of adventure and hardship—perilous journeys, railroad construction in the Rockies, panning for gold in swift-flowing streams, transporting goods for the Hudson’s Bay Company along the Athabasca River. Blessed with the rare gift of a natural storyteller, Maturié conveys his abiding nostalgia for a country he loved deeply yet ultimately had to abandon.Maturié’s memoir, Man Proposes, God Disposes, appeared in France in 1972, to a warm reception. Now, in the deft and marvellously empathetic translation of Vivien Bosley, it is at long last available in English. As a portrait of pioneer life in northern Alberta, as a window onto the French experience in Canada, and, above all, as an irresistible story—it will continue to find a place in the hearts of readers for years to come.
