| Summary | "Roi de Camargue" by Jean Aicard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the unique landscape of Camargue, emphasizing themes of local culture, superstition, and the interplay between characters from different backgrounds. Central to the narrative are Livette, a kind-hearted young woman, and Jacques Renaud, a robust gardian, whose lives intertwine amidst the mystical elements brought by the arrival of a mysterious and authoritative gypsy known as the Queen. The opening of "Roi de Camargue" introduces us to Livette, who is alone in the farmhouse when an enigmatic figure—a gypsy woman—unexpectedly appears at her window. The encounter is fraught with tension as the gypsy demands oil for her needs, pushing back against Livette’s refusals while invoking her knowledge of Livette's past. As the gypsy asserts her dominance with eerie proclamations and a threatening charm, Livette's growing fear is compounded by her awareness of the local legends. The scene sets the stage for a conflict between the established lives of the local villagers and the chaotic, mystical forces embodied by the gypsy, suggesting the unraveling of their peaceful existence as the narrative progresses.
