Summary "Sir Quixote of the Moors" by John Buchan is a novel written in the late 19th century. This narrative presents the story of Jean de Rohaine, a French gentleman who, after falling into despair, finds himself wandering the inhospitable Scottish Highlands. The book explores themes of honor, friendship, and the contrast between pastoral tranquility and the harsh realities of life, particularly through the experiences of the main character in a foreign land. At the start of the novel, Jean de Rohaine embarks on a journey into the Scottish moors, revealing his frustrations and discomfort in the bleak landscape, which starkly contrasts with his previous life in France. He recalls how he came to Scotland to visit his friend Quentin Kennedy but becomes disenchanted with his host's violent and ruthless actions, leading him to abandon hope for camaraderie. Following a quarrel over a massacre of innocents, Jean parts ways with Kennedy and becomes lost in the moors. After several hardships, he eventually arrives at an inn, where he faces danger from local ruffians. The opening portion sets the stage for Jean's transformation and introduces the themes of struggle and adventure that define his journey through Scotland.
