This etext was produced by David Widger "A Woodland Queen ('Reine des Bois') — Volume 2" by André Theuriet is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the story of Julien de Buxieres, a young man grappling with feelings of alienation and melancholy while living in a rural mountainous village, as he navigates his complex feelings towards Reine Vincart, a spirited girl he admires. The narrative explores themes of loneliness, love, and the struggle to connect as Julien confronts the vibrant rural life around him that feels both enchanting and distant. At the start of this volume, winter envelops the village, and Julien battles with the isolation that his surroundings impose. He seeks intellectual engagement but finds more comfort in solitude than companionship, particularly with local priest Abbe Pernot, who is more preoccupied with earthly pleasures than spiritual pursuits. Julien's ennui is shattered when he meets Reine, who captivates him with her kindness and connection to nature. However, their interaction reveals Julien's struggles with intimacy and lead him to confront jealousy when he suspects Claudet, a close companion, might have feelings for Reine. This opening not only sets the tone for Julien's internal struggles but also hints at a love triangle that complicates friendships and emotional dynamics in this secluded village.
