Summary "La Chèvre Jaune" by Paul de Musset is a novel written in the mid-19th century. Set in Sicily, the story follows a young shepherd named Cicio and his whimsical companion, a yellow goat named Gheta, as they navigate the trials of poverty, love, and aspiration amidst the vibrant Sicilian landscape. The opening of "La Chèvre Jaune" introduces us to Cicio, a sixteen-year-old goat herder who lives a modest life in the poor town of Syracuse. He raises his six goats, earning a meager living selling their milk while caring for his elderly mother. Cicio is characterized by his charm and accidental grace, attracting attention not just from the townsfolk but also from a spirited young girl named Angélica. His daily routine is filled with conversations, banter, and the joyful antics of Gheta, who he has a special bond with. However, as Cicio encounters the challenges posed by the wealthy notary Mast'-André, who has lost his wife and has a daughter with whom Cicio is infatuated, the plot begins to twist toward adventure and potential peril, foreshadowing a romantic and social struggle woven throughout the narrative.
