The Golden Lion of Granpere
E-text prepared by Les Bowler, St. Ives, Dorset
"The Golden Lion of Granpere" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the picturesque village of Granpere in the Vosges mountains, the story unfolds around the lives of its inhabitants, particularly focusing on the dynamics between the innkeeper Michel Voss and his niece, Marie Bromar, as they navigate love, familial obligations, and societal expectations. Through the lens of their relationships and the backdrop of rural life, the narrative explores themes of duty, romance, and the conflict between personal desires and family loyalty. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the serene village setting of Granpere and its lively inn, "Le Lion d'Or," run by Michel Voss. We meet Michel, a robust and good-natured man, along with his young and industrious niece, Marie, who is a central figure in the household. The story hints at unresolved feelings between Marie and George Voss, Michel’s son, who has departed for Colmar after a disagreement with his father concerning love and marriage. As the narrative progresses, we see Marie's reluctance to accept a proposal from the affluent Adrian Urmand, despite her uncle's wishes, which adds to her internal turmoil. The chapter sets the stage for the unfolding drama of love and familial duty, revealing the complexities of the characters' lives and relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
