| Summary | "The Adventures of M. D'Haricot" by J. Storer Clouston is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the escapades of the protagonist, the Frenchman M. D'Haricot, who finds himself in England as a fugitive after failing in a royalist conspiracy in France. As he navigates his new environment, M. D'Haricot's experiences are interwoven with humor and social commentary on the English way of life. At the start of the narrative, M. D'Haricot reflects on his emotions while traveling away from France and entering England. He describes his sad demeanor despite the beauty of the English countryside, revealing that he is a political refugee and a member of a failed conspiracy group. The opening scene unfolds in a train carriage as he observes his surroundings and engages in a tentative conversation with a British traveler, which captures his culture shock and initial distrust of his environment. M. D'Haricot's journey introduces us to his complex character, and sets the stage for the comedic and often poignant adventures that follow in this foreign land.
