Written in free verse, this 1969 novel by Réjean Ducharme is a poetic oddity. Colombe Colomb, daughter of Christophe Colomb, embarks on an epic and magical journey, shifting the vain pursuit of conquest towards a quest for true friendship. Along with the dog Jean-Sébastien Cabot, the cow Meumère, the heron Néron and an entire enchanted menagerie, the Colomb heiress flees humankind in order to find the beauty of the world. Her noble voyage ends in an apocalypse.
