Summary "Lettres de mon moulin" by Alphonse Daudet is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work captures the beauty and charm of the Provençal landscape, depicting the life and characters of the region through a series of vignettes centered around a rustic mill. The narrative conveys the author's deep appreciation for nature, cultural heritage, and the trials of ordinary people. The opening of the text introduces us to the author's arrival at his newly acquired mill in Provence, which has been abandoned for years. The vivid descriptions of the setting reveal a tranquil landscape populated by rabbits and an old owl, emphasizing the sense of solitude and beauty surrounding the mill. Daudet reflects on the contrast between his present peaceful life and the chaotic atmosphere of Paris. He observes a delightful return of livestock to a nearby farm, recounting the joyful scene that unfolds, full of sounds and activities that paint a lively picture of country life. The beginning sets the tone for themes of nostalgia, harmony with nature, and the charm of rural existence that will likely unfold in the subsequent stories.
