| Summary |
"La invasión o El loco Yégof" by Erckmann-Chatrian is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds within the context of the 1814 invasion, focusing on characters from the village of Charmes in the Vosges. The narrative centers around Juan Claudio Hullin, a respected almadreñero, and his daughter Luisa, as they navigate the challenges posed by the looming conflict and the arrival of the eccentric character Yégof. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the tranquil village of Charmes, where life unfolds alongside the dramatic backdrop of war. Juan Claudio Hullin, a cheerful craftsman, lives with his daughter Luisa, who is awaiting news of her fiancé Gaspar, a soldier. The tranquility is disrupted by the unexpected return of Yégof, a local madman who claims to be a king and brings ominous prophecies of conflict and loss. His absurd yet haunting claims stir fears and concerns among the villagers, particularly as Hullin and Catalina Lefèvre contemplate the implications of the approaching invasion and their respective roles in the community's potential defense.
