Summary "Au bon soleil" by Paul Arène is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the picturesque region of Provence, capturing the lives and interactions of various characters, including the stone mason Lenthéric and a young woman named Vivette. The narrative unfolds around themes of love, community, and the cultural vibrancy of Provençal life, particularly during the carnival season. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a lively dinner scene at "Logis de la grosse Hôtesse" in Saint-Domnin, as a group of rouliers share stories and gossip while anticipating the arrival of Lenthéric's cousin, Perdigal. Through engaging dialogues, we learn about Perdigal's recent endeavors and the preparations for a large carmentran—a traditional carnival effigy. The rich, detailed descriptions immerse readers in the atmosphere of the setting, where the characters' interactions hint at deeper relationships and conflicts that will develop throughout the story. Lenthéric, with his humble nature and budding feelings for Vivette, is especially highlighted, setting the stage for future events that intertwine their fates.
