Summary "Panouille" by Thierry Sandre is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Panouille, a simple and unassuming cannoneer, as he navigates life in a military battery and faces the complexities of army discipline and camaraderie. The book delves into themes of class struggle, the impact of war on individuals, and the absurdities of military life. The opening of "Panouille" introduces us to the main character, who is portrayed as both solid and naive, struggling with the ridicule and hardships imposed by his fellow soldiers. The narrative quickly becomes focused on a particular incident where Panouille finds himself at odds with Lieutenant Calorgne after letting slip an insult amidst a group of fellow cannoneers. This moment sets off a series of misunderstandings and repercussions, leading Panouille to face potential punishment just as he dreams of returning to the village to marry his beloved Marguerite. Tension builds in the battery as word of the incident spreads, highlighting the character dynamics and the underlying class tensions within the military structure.
