| Summary | "Coquecigrues" by Jules Renard is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories often reflect on themes of everyday life, human nature, and observations drawn from the ordinary events surrounding the characters, such as the interactions between an old man and soldiers or the peculiarities of family dynamics. Renard's writing combines a sense of humor with poignant reflections on the absurdities of life. At the start of "Coquecigrues," we are introduced to a whimsical old man preparing to host French soldiers, diligently ensuring he has everything ready—from fresh fish in the river to an abundance of food for them. His joyful anticipation is interrupted when he learns no soldiers are coming, prompting a series of humorous and revealing interactions with his wife and his attempt to connect with the soldiers he admires from afar. The opening sets a tone of both innocent excitement and subtle commentary on the nature of hospitality and human connection, inviting readers into Renard's richly observed world.
