Project Gutenberg 2004-10-30 Public domain in the USA. 83 Theuriet, André 1833 1907 Theuriet, Andre Theuriet, Claude Adhémar André A Woodland Queen ('Reine des Bois') — Complete Translation of Reine des bois. Produced by David Widger "A Woodland Queen ('Reine des Bois')" by André Theuriet is a novel written in the late 19th century that encapsulates the themes of inheritance, identity, and rural life in France. The narrative unfolds around the character of Claudet Sejournant, a young man who finds himself in a precarious position following the death of Claude de Buxieres, a local nobleman he viewed as a father figure. The story explores Claudet's quest for recognition and belonging as he grapples with the implications of a disputed inheritance in the backdrop of provincial life, rich with detailed descriptions of the French countryside. The opening portion introduces readers to a transformative moment in Claudet's life. In the wake of Claude de Buxieres's sudden death and the uncertainty surrounding his will, Claudet's hopes of securing his father's estate hang in the balance. As he faces bureaucratic obstacles, the narrative introduces a range of characters, including M. Eustache Destourbet, the justice of the peace, and Reine Vincart, a young woman who appears to symbolize strength and resilience amidst adversity. The chapter's events set the stage for an exploration of social dynamics, class conflict, and the emotional turmoil of a young man seeking his rightful place while hinting at future complications arising from his complicated relationships with those around him. The opening thus engages readers in Claudet's internal struggle and the rustic charm that defines his world.
