Summary "Les nuits mexicaines" by Gustave Aimard is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set in Mexico during a tumultuous period and focuses on two main characters: the young Count Ludovic Mahiet de la Saulay, who is on a journey to marry a woman he has never met, and Olivier, his adventurous and seasoned companion. The novel explores themes of adventure, cultural clash, and political upheaval in the backdrop of a vivid and dangerous landscape. The opening of the novel presents a picturesque view of the Mexican landscape as two travelers emerge from a dense forest onto a scenic route. They are well-armed, suggesting the dangers they might face. During their journey, they engage in conversation about their past experiences and the motivations behind their travels. Ludovic reveals his impending marriage arranged by their families, while Olivier shares his disdain for the constraints of social class. However, their conversation gets interrupted as they notice an approaching carriage, warning that danger lurks in the form of bandits; they prepare themselves for a possible confrontation, hinting at the adventures that will unfold.
