Title L'Abbe Constantin — Complete
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "L'Abbe Constantin" by Ludovic Halévy is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Abbe Constantin, a kind-hearted priest who has devoted his life to the small village of Longueval and its people. The narrative begins with the impending sale of the estate of Longueval, which he has cherished and considered his own for over thirty years, marking a significant transition in both his personal life and the community he serves. The opening of the book introduces us to Abbe Constantin as he contemplates the sale of the estate and the changes it will bring. As he walks alongside the estate's boundary, he reflects on his long relationship with the late Marquise de Longueval, the impact of her passing, and the implications of the land being sold to an American named Mrs. Scott. This new ownership raises concerns for the Abbe, not only because of the potential loss of familiar routines but also due to the religious differences that might arise from a Protestant taking over the church's nearby active parish. Throughout this portion, we witness the Abbe's deep sense of duty and the connections he has built over the years, setting the stage for an exploration of community, faith, and the complexities of change.
