| Summary | "Maurin des Maures" by Jean Aicard is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers on the character Maurin, a charismatic and legendary braconnier (poacher) in Provence, known not only for his prowess in hunting but also for his charming escapades and interactions with the local populace. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Maures mountains, the novel explores themes of camaraderie, humor, and the complexities of rural life. The opening of the narrative introduces the protagonist, Maurin, who arrives at an auberge (inn) amidst a group of locals including gendarmes and bûcherons (lumberjacks). His presence immediately commands attention due to his reputation as both a skilled hunter and a storyteller, drawing the camaraderie of his fellow patrons and inciting the jealousy of the gendarmes present. As the scene unfolds, Maurin engages in light-hearted banter, demonstrates a sharp wit, and hints at his reputation as the "don Juan of the woods," raising curiosity about his adventures. This mixture of humor and tension sets the tone for the novel, promising an entertaining exploration of Maurin's escapades in his idyllic yet precarious rural environment.
