Summary "Le Blé qui Lève" by René Bazin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of Michel de Meximieu, a young landowner torn between the traditions of his noble heritage and the struggles of the rural working class. As Michel navigates his responsibilities and relationships on his estate, the narrative delves into themes of social change, nature, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a time of shifting societal values. The opening of the book establishes the forest setting and introduces the character of Michel de Meximieu, who exhibits a deep affection for the trees he oversees. He grapples with instructions from his father that require the felling of ancient oaks due to financial pressures. As Michel interacts with workers like the young and reserved bûcheron Gilbert Cloquet, the stage is set for conflicts that revolve around the social and economic challenges of the time. The chapter captures the tensions between the nobility and the working class while portraying Michel's internal struggles, highlighting his reluctance to conform to the damage inflicted on the land and the people he cares about.
