La Société Promotion Grand-Pré was thrilled to host a very special Book Launch on Saturday. This launch featured two extraordinary works that highlight Acadian history from two very different, yet deeply connected perspectives. To celebrate, we’re offering an exclusive 10% discount on both titles with promo code BOOKLAUNCH10.
Dictionnaire du français acadien
A landmark work by Yves Cormier, this dictionary places Acadian French at the centre of the conversation; not as a footnote to Quebec French, but as a vibrant linguistic tradition in its own right. Cormier documents the richness and vitality of Acadian vocabulary with remarkable care: noting frequency of use, regional variations, historical origins, and first written attestations. Each definition is brought to life through thoughtfully chosen examples and quotations, inviting readers to experience Acadian French in its natural context. This is more than a reference book. This is a celebration of a living language and an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand and appreciate the Acadian linguistic landscape.
John Winslow at Grand-Pré
Jonathan Fowler and Earle Lockerby present a powerful, meticulously annotated edition of John Winslow’s 1755 journal: a firsthand account of one of the most consequential moments in Acadian history. Supported by maps, illustrations, essays, and extensive contextual notes, this volume offers an invaluable window into the forces that reshaped Atlantic Canada and the enduring legacy of the Acadian people.
These two books, one exploring the heart of Acadian language, the other illuminating a pivotal chapter of Acadian history, form a powerful pairing for those who are passionate about Acadian history.
Use promo code BOOKLAUNCH10 to receive 10% off both titles until June 12th.
Come discover, learn, and connect with the stories that continue to shape Grand‑Pré and its people!
