"King of Camargue" by Jean Aicard is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores life in the Camargue region of France, focusing on the intertwined lives of its characters against the backdrop of vibrant local culture and mysticism. The story primarily revolves around Livette, a young woman preparing for her impending marriage to Renaud, a skilled drover, and the charm of the gipsy queen, Zinzara, who disrupts their lives with her mysterious presence. The opening of the novel introduces Livette in her family farmhouse, where she encounters Zinzara, the gipsy queen. Zinzara demands olive oil from Livette, using strange threats and foretelling Livette's future, which instills fear and curiosity in her. Livette's determination to refuse the gipsy's demands reveals her strength, even in the face of fear and superstition. The scene establishes a tension between the ordinary life Livette leads and the supernatural elements that surround her, foreshadowing the conflicts and romantic entanglements that will develop as the story progresses. The interplay of mysticism, local lore, and the characters' relationships sets a compelling tone for the unfolding drama in "King of Camargue." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
