Colin-Tampon" by Jules Girardin is a humorous novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative follows the misadventures of M. Colin-Tampon, a middle-aged man who, after achieving wealth through an invention, decides to try his hand at hunting, leading to a series of comical mishaps. The book explores themes of ambition, folly, and the contrast between the idealized notions of nature and the reality of rural life. In the story, M. Colin-Tampon embarks on a hunting trip equipped with enthusiasm and a new hunting outfit, confident in his unexpected role as a hunter. However, his inexperience becomes evident as he mistakes a wild hare for a cleverly placed skin and misunderstands various situations, culminating in a suspenseful encounter with a live bear. Meanwhile, his faithful dog Azor adds to the comedy with his reactions. The narrative features a series of slapstick events as Colin-Tampon navigates misunderstandings and the unpredictable nature of hunting, ultimately showcasing his naïveté and the absurdity of his aspirations. As he returns home, proud yet oblivious to the ridiculousness of his day, the reader is treated to a lighthearted satire of human ambition and the often humorous gap between expectation and reality.
