The story initially sets the stage in rural France and revolves around the lives of the impoverished nobility and the complex relationships between former lords and their new wealthy tenants. Central to the narrative is the character of the last Marquis de la Seiglière, who struggles to adapt to the tumultuous political changes of the time, alongside other significant characters like Stamply, the farmer who inherits the marquis's estate. At the start of the novel, the author paints a vivid picture of Poitiers and the ennui that encapsulates the provincial life. The opening exposition introduces the plight of the Marquis de la Seiglière, who remains blissfully unaware of the growing revolutionary sentiments that threaten his way of life. After a brief period away, he returns only to find his former estate taken over by Jean Stamply, a former tenant who rises to prominence after the revolution. The narrative sets up a contrast between the disillusioned nobles and the newly empowered commoners, leading to a deeper exploration of class dynamics, personal aspirations, and the weight of past allegiances throughout the unfolding drama.
