| Summary | "Au pays de Sylvie" by Marcel Boulenger is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores themes of youth, education, and societal expectations through the experiences of the young vicomtes Armand d'Oinèche and Gilbert de Lorizon, who are navigating their transition into adulthood amid their impending military service. The story delves into their relationships, aspirations, and the contrasts between upper-class life and the realities awaiting them. The opening of the novel introduces the character of Abbé Marigot, a tutor who reflects on his impending departure from the picturesque region of Chantilly, where he taught his noble students. As he prepares to leave, he grapples with sadness over leaving behind his beloved pupils, who are now set to embark on their military careers. The vicomtes, in a bid to prolong their time with Abbé Marigot, decide to accompany him to Paris, illustrating their youthful desire for adventure and the allure of city life. Their friendship and camaraderie set the stage for a narrative that promises to blend humor and social commentary as they navigate the complexities of their privileged lives.
