Summary "Ida et Carmelita" by Hector Malot is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the characters Colonel Chamberlain, his servant Horace, and the captivating young woman Carmelita, as they intertwine in themes of love, duty, and the quest for personal freedom amidst a backdrop of picturesque Swiss landscapes. The opening of the novel introduces us to the serene setting of the Rigi-Vaudois hotel, where Colonel Chamberlain is staying. After a brief exploration of the hotel's idyllic location above Lake Geneva, we learn about Colonel's solitary existence and the presence of his servant, Horace, who respects his master's privacy but struggles with ennui. The arrival of a carriage carrying the famous Comtesse Belmonte and her daughter, Carmelita, disrupts the colonel's quietude, presenting an opportunity for connection. The opening effectively sets the stage for a complex interplay of emotions, hinting at potential romantic developments while highlighting the characters' struggles with their pasts and desires.
