Cover of Brian Young: Une mort très digne (PDF)

Fondé en 1852, le cimetière Mont-Royal est depuis longtemps un espace public cher aux Montréalais. C”est le lieu où sommeillent du repos éternel l”homme politique Sir John Abbott, le poète F.R. Scott, l”étoile du hockey Howie Morenz, l”explorateur David Thompson aux côtés de banquiers, d”apostats, d”un bourreau et de victimes du Titanic. Brian Young nous mène dans le périple captivant de l”histoire sociale du cimetière qui nous révèle son évolution depuis sa naissance en tant que lieu de sépulture rural et protestant, jusqu”à sa condition actuelle de cimetière urbain et multiethnique. L”essai du photographe de renom Geoffrey James capte l”interaction de la beauté et de la mort dans le cimetière.
