Geography of Fire/La Furie Et Sa Geographie

Geography of Fire/La Furie Et Sa GeographieT01437078701
Part One of Geography of Fire / La Furie et sa geographie takes place in 2019 and dramatises the collision of British and French during the Battle on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec during the Seven Years War. On 13 September 1759, world history changed in twenty-five minutes. Though often portrayed as nothing more than a dust-up between two generals - James Wolfe and Louis-Joseph de Montcalm - the Battle on the Plains of Abraham is actually a magnificent, tragic resistance against the land-grabbing, corporate idea of empire that changed the face of North America for all time. Summoned by the call of a red-throated loon, 33 fictional and non-fictional characters emerge from their graves with bits of clothing from 1759 still clinging to their burial shrouds. For the next two hours, they relive their experience in an effort to challenge history's interpretation of this tumultuous time.
