Based on a true story from the life of Marguerite de Roberval, <em>Elle\u00a0<\/em>chronicles the ordeals and adventures of a young French woman marooned on the desolate Isle of Demons in 1542\u00a0at the time of\u00a0France\u2019s ill-fated third\u00a0attempt to colonize Canada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">The Sieur de Roberval abandons his unruly young niece, her lover, and her nurse on the Isle of Demons. With real bears, spirit bears, and perhaps hallucinated bears, with the residue of a somewhat lurid religious faith, and with a world of self-preserving belligerence, the voluble heroine of <em>Elle<\/em> does more than survive.\u00a0<em>Elle<\/em> brilliantly reinvents the beginnings of this country\u2019s history: what Canada meant to the early European adventurers, what these Europeans meant to Canada\u2019s original inhabitants. While Marguerite de Roberval\u2019s experience of Canada in 1542 is not as well known as Jacques Cartier\u2019s, her open-minded engagement with that environment and its people was ahead of its time, and is certainly more relevant and inspiring for us today than Cartier\u2019s attempt to colonize and conquer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-7361-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/douglasglover.net\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Elle1.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7375&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Elle1&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/douglasglover.net\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Elle2.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7376&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Elle2&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/douglasglover.net\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Elle3.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7377&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Elle3&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/douglasglover.net\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Elle4.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7378&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Elle4&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/douglasglover.net\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Elle7.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7381&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Elle7&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/douglasglover.net\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Elle8.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;7382&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Elle8&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 3px; background: #78A5B6; overflow: hidden;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.
