"Kuningatar Hanhenjalan ravintola" by Anatole France is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the life of Elme Laurent Jacques Ménétrier, a young boy growing up in his father's bustling tavern, where interactions with various characters spark philosophical discussions and whimsical adventures, particularly concerning the mystique of cabalistic beliefs and the nature of knowledge. The opening of the novel introduces us to the narrator, Elme, who fondly recounts his childhood experiences and interactions with his father, Léonard, a humble cook, and the various patrons of their tavern. Through lighthearted anecdotes and lively dialogues, we learn about the influence of key characters such as the learned yet eccentric priest Jérôme Coignard, who inspires Elme's intellectual curiosity and opens his eyes to a world of knowledge. The scene is set with bustling life around the tavern and introduces themes of philosophy, community, and the pursuit of wisdom against a backdrop of everyday life.
