Summary: "Les creux-de-maisons" by Ernest Pérochon is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the life of Séverin Pâtureau, a young man returning to his rural home after serving in the military. It explores themes of poverty, resilience, and the realities of peasant life in France, painting a vivid picture of the struggles and emotions faced by its characters. The opening of the novel introduces Séverin and his companions as they arrive back in their hometown after their military service. Their joy at returning home is palpable, contrasted by the creeping sense of isolation that Séverin begins to feel as he ventures back into the familiar yet changed landscape of his childhood. Memories of his family's struggles and hardships, particularly the impact of their poverty, start to surface. As he reflects on his past and the loss of loved ones, the narrative foreshadows a deeper exploration of his personal journey amidst the backdrop of rural hardship and societal expectations.
