Summary "Cartas de mi molino" by Alphonse Daudet is a collection of essays and stories written in the late 19th century. This work reflects on the author's experiences in Provence, capturing the essence of rural life, its charm, and the characters who inhabit it. The evocative descriptions of landscapes and humorous anecdotes about local people aim to immerse readers in the beauty and simplicity of Provençal life. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to Daudet's new home—a dilapidated windmill in the valley of the Rhône, where he intends to write. He describes the surprising presence of rabbits that have taken refuge in the mill, and an old owl who is startled by his arrival. As he settles in, he paints a serene picture of the beautiful Provençal landscape, while contemplating the peace it brings him compared to the bustling life of Paris. This establishes the tone for the collection, blending personal reflection with vivid storytelling about the unique life and characters of the region, which will be explored further in the subsequent letters.
