The adventure begun last year with the Portraits of remarkable women and men series continues with this second volume, in which you'll find the stories of 48 new personalities.
One of the aims of this book is to give as many people as possible a taste for reading. The short biographies in this book will be of interest to a wide audience, from high school and college students to the general public. While waiting for your bus, why not read a short text on Félix Leclerc or Gilles Vigneault? In the waiting room, before seeing your doctor, read a short biography by Dr. Madeleine Pauliac.
Telling these stories through short biographies means sharing the history of mankind. It's a way of opening windows onto the world, a way of learning to decentralize oneself. It's good to remember that hundreds of generations of human beings have followed in our footsteps. These men and women have left us a cultural heritage to remember.
