| Summary |
"Mon cousin Guy" by Henri Ardel is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story likely revolves around Guy de Pazanne, a charming and somewhat carefree young man who is on a journey to Douarnenez, where he interacts with family members and encounters the vibrant and lively Arlette Morgane. The novel appears to delve into themes of family connections, societal expectations, and the picturesque beauty of Brittany, all interwoven with a sense of humor and romance. The opening of the novel introduces us to Guy, who is preparing for his trip to Douarnenez at the urging of his sister and nieces. As he embarks on his journey, Guy’s personality shines through his light-hearted banter with them as well as his charmingly skeptical view on the family he is to meet. Upon arrival, he quickly finds himself captivated by the natural landscape and the local culture, highlighting the enchanting atmosphere of Brittany. The scene shifts to nighttime as Guy writes a letter, reflecting on a chance encounter with a spirited young girl named Arlette, who possesses an insatiable curiosity and a whimsical nature. Their initial meeting sets the stage for the evolving dynamics of family and relationships in the quaint coastal town. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
