Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Autumn Glory; Or, The Toilers of the Field" by René Bazin is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Toussaint Lumineau, a resilient farmer facing challenges with his landholdings and family dynamics, all set against the backdrop of rural France. The tension mounts as economic pressures and personal relationships, especially concerning his daughters and their potential suitors, come into play. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the struggles of the Lumineau family, particularly the head of the household, a proud farmer who is under pressure from the Marquis's agents regarding unpaid rent due to difficult harvests. As Lumineau interacts with the head-keeper, the themes of loyalty to land, family ties, and the harsh realities of peasant life are established. The initial scenes present a family dynamic that includes the challenges posed by a crippled son, Mathurin, and the budding romance of his daughter Rousille with a farm servant, Jean Nesmy. This opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of tradition, love, and the impacts of modernity on agrarian life.
