Summary: "Le roi des montagnes" by Edmond About is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story opens with the intriguing character of Hermann Schultz, a young botanist who, during his time in Greece, recounts his encounters with the notorious brigand Hadgi-Stavros, also known as the "King of the Mountains." The narrative seems to weave together adventure, local culture, and the complexities of human nature, inviting readers into a world where tales of heroism and criminality coexist. At the start of the novel, Hermann Schultz is introduced as he engages in a conversation with an unknown visitor, who turns out to be a botanist himself. This stranger shares his experiences of living for days under the rule of Hadgi-Stavros, revealing both the danger and allure of brigandage in Greece. The dialogue unfolds as Schultz becomes captivated by the stranger's storytelling, leading to a discussion about authenticity and ethics in narration, with Schultz deciding to publish this tale. As the chapter continues, it sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Hadgi-Stavros's character and the implications of his actions, framing the brigand as both a villain and a figure of admiration in Greek society.
