| Summary | "L'Écuyère" by Paul Bourget is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Hilda Campbell, a young and skilled horsewoman, who works in her father's horse-dealing business in Paris. The narrative centers on her life intertwined with horses, her daily routines, and the complexities of her emerging romantic feelings, set against a backdrop of social dynamics and adventure. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a charming slice of Paris life through Hilda's interactions with the horses and those around her, particularly focusing on her relationship with her father, Robert Campbell, a seasoned horse dealer. The opening scenes highlight her expertise as she works with the horses, revealing her passion and the unique world she inhabits. A dramatic twist occurs when Hilda is accosted by a bandit while riding in the Bois de Boulogne, but she displays remarkable courage during the encounter. Just as the situation becomes dire, she is unexpectedly saved by a young man named Jules de Maligny, who begins to take an interest in her. This encounter sets the stage for potential romantic developments and a deeper exploration of their characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
