Summary: "Yan" by Jean Rameau is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative primarily revolves around the main character, Yan du Bignaou, a wealthy and proud farmer from the Gascony region of France.

The opening of the novel introduces Yan du Bignaou, a vigorous and deeply rooted farmer who embodies the spirit of his land. He rides through the countryside, reflecting on his life, hard work, and disdain for the modern influences embodied by Paris. As he returns home, he is struck by a catastrophe involving his son, André, who is injured during the construction of his new house. This tragic event sets off a chain of emotional turmoil for Yan, illustrating his deep attachment to his homeland and his conflicted feelings toward his son’s aspirations.
