Produced by Ebooks libres et gratuits at http://www.ebooksgratuits.com "Le roman de Miraut - Chien de chasse" by Louis Pergaud is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the life of Lisée, a braconnier, and his interactions with his new hunting dog, Miraut. As the story unfolds, themes of rural life and the complexities of human-animal relationships are explored, particularly through Lisée's struggles with alcohol and the impact it has on his family life. The opening of the novel introduces us to the setting at the Côte de Longeverne, where the character Guélotte, Lisée's wife, anxiously awaits her husband's return from the market, suspecting he may be drinking instead of buying necessary supplies. Her inner monologue reveals her worries about the family's financial stability and Lisée's irresponsible behavior, highlighting her frustration with his lifestyle. As Lisée arrives home late and inebriated, he surprises Guélotte by bringing home a puppy, Miraut, instead of the pig they needed. This introduces a new dynamic to their household, setting the stage for conflicts between Guélotte's resentment towards the dog and her husband's affection for their new companion. The opening effectively establishes a tone of tension and humor that hints at the complexity of their relationships, as well as the challenges they face in rural life.
