Summary "Le jardinier de la Pompadour" by Eugène Demolder is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Jasmin Buguet, a gardener in a picturesque village near the Seine, as he navigates his feelings for Martine, a chambermaid, and the enchanting Madame d'Étioles, who captivates his heart. The novel blends themes of love, ambition, and the beauty of nature against the backdrop of social dynamics in a rural setting. The opening of the novel introduces Jasmin Buguet and his idyllic life as a gardener, detailing his morning routine while emphasizing the beauty of his surroundings and his cherished flowers. As he prepares floral arrangements for Martine, he reflects on the recent encounter with Madame d'Étioles, which evokes a mix of admiration and longing within him. A chance meeting where he aids the fainting lady further intensifies his infatuation. Concurrently, Martine, unaware of the tumult of emotions Jasmin experiences, wishes to marry him, setting the stage for a complex love triangle. In this exploration of human aspirations juxtaposed with the allure of aristocracy, the narrative is rich with vivid imagery and emotional depth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
