Summary "Fromont and Risler — Complete" by Alphonse Daudet is a novel written during the late 19th century, specifically in the context of the Naturalism movement in literature. The narrative centers around the lives of characters intertwined in the world of Parisian bourgeoisie, particularly focusing on Risler, a self-made and honest man, and Sidonie, his young and charming bride. The story explores themes of ambition, social class, and the complexities of human relationships as it unfolds against the backdrop of their wedding festivities and the societal structures that influence their lives. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the joyful yet emotionally charged scenes at Risler's wedding. As Risler celebrates his newfound happiness amidst friends and family at a lavish cafe, he reflects on the day’s events with overwhelming joy, particularly the presence of his bride Sidonie and her mother. However, hints of underlying tensions and unspoken concerns emerge when he interacts with various guests, including his partner Georges Fromont, who seems to have a complicated connection with Sidonie. Through a vivid depiction of characters' emotions and the dynamics of social hierarchy, Daudet sets the stage for the complex interplay of love, ambition, and societal expectations that will shape Risler's and Sidonie's lives moving forward.
