Summary "Le nain noir" by Walter Scott is a novel written during the early 19th century. The story unfolds in a remote part of southern Scotland, where superstitions and folklore intertwine with the daily lives of its inhabitants. The narrative introduces the character of Hobby Elliot, a young farmer, who becomes embroiled in the mysterious happenings surrounding a "Nain noir," or Black Dwarf, a figure fraught with local legends and tales of the supernatural. The opening of the novel presents a picturesque April morning, despite the lingering snow, where Hobby Elliot rides back home with a companion after a disappointing day of hunting. They stop at an inn, where discussions about the ominous "Nain noir" ensue, bringing forth a mix of skepticism and belief amongst the townsfolk. Confronting the darker themes of superstition and human nature, the narrative hints at both Hobby's curiosity and his longing for adventure as they recount frightening tales, setting the stage for the appearance of the mysterious dwarf. This prologue establishes a blend of adventure and local lore, inviting readers into a story that promises intrigue and exploration of human emotion against a backdrop of rural Scotland.
