Summary "Le château des Carpathes" by Jules Verne is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the mysterious and supernatural surroundings of Transylvania, centering on the enigmatic castle that bears the title of the book. The initial chapters introduce key characters such as Frik, a rustic shepherd, and Master Koltz, as they navigate the local lore surrounding the castle and the strange occurrences reported from its long-ignored halls. At the start of the novel, the narrative presents a vivid picture of the Transylvanian landscape, focusing on Frik as he tends to his sheep near the castle. The shepherd, deeply influenced by local superstitions, becomes obsessed with a dying beech tree that is believed to be linked to the fate of the castle. His discovery of smoke emanating from the castle prompts a wave of gossip and fear among the villagers, culminating in a gathering at an inn where the townsfolk debate the implications of these strange events. This opening sets the stage for a tale woven with legend, mystery, and a possible supernatural twist, inviting readers to engage with the looming questions about the forgotten castle and its haunting past.
