Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Fête At Coqueville" by Émile Zola is a novel written during the late 19th century. This work captures the dynamics of a small fishing village, Coqueville, exploring themes of social class conflict and the revelry that ensues from an unexpected bounty. The narrative revolves around the village's inhabitants and their relationships, which are amplified during a series of alcohol-fueled festivities following the discovery of casks from a shipwreck. The storyline centers on the annual fishing routines of the villagers, particularly the rivalry between the Mahé and Floche families, who represent the old and new social orders of the village. The peaceful life of Coqueville is disrupted when the sea delivers an unexpected treasure in the form of liquor-filled casks. This bounty transforms the mundane lives of the inhabitants into a celebratory frenzy, where social barriers begin to dissolve amid the alcohol-induced merriment. As the days of revelry unfold, personal relationships evolve, leading to unexpected connections and a sense of unity in the village. Ultimately, the tale concludes with a marriage that symbolizes harmony, highlighting the transformative power of shared experiences and the absurdity of social divisions.
