The story centers on the character of Benassis, a dedicated country doctor who is deeply invested in the wellbeing of his patients and the development of the impoverished community he serves. The novel explores themes of sacrifice, social responsibility, and the power of personal transformation in a rural setting. The opening of the novel introduces a traveler, Commandant Genestas, as he rides through the picturesque yet struggling countryside in the foothills of the Alps. Genestas arrives at a humble village that reveals the dire conditions of its inhabitants, including a peasant woman caring for orphaned children. Through his interactions with the community and the old doctor, the narrative establishes a sense of intrigue surrounding Benassis, who is spoken of as a man of great goodness. Genestas learns about the doctor’s efforts to improve the lives of the villagers and combat the scourge of cretinism that has plagued their families. This section sets up an exploration of Benassis's character and his extraordinary commitment to transforming the lives of those around him, thereby laying the groundwork for the unfolding drama that will highlight both personal and communal struggles.
